Question

Write the quadratic function in vertex form. y=-3x^2+24x-50

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3x² + 24x - 50

factor out leading coefficient

y = -3(x² - 8x) - 50

complete the square

 coefficient of the x term: -8

 divide it in half: -4

 square it: (-4)² = 4²

 use 4² to complete the square and keep the equation balanced:

y = -3(x² - 8x + 4²) + 3(4²) - 50

y = -3(x-4)² - 2
