Answer: Vertex : Maximum (2, 0)
Rules:
- (x + d)² = x² + 2dx + d² and (x - d)² = x² - 2dx + d²
- x² + 2dx = (x + d)² - d² and x² - 2dx = (x - d)² - d²
Solve:
x² - 4x + 4
x² - 2(2x) + 2²
(x - 2)²
Into vertex form: a(x - h)² + k
1(x - 2)² + 0
Identify:
vertex : (h, k) = (2, 0)

Answer:
or 2.738
Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s just look at the triangle on the top with the on the top and x on the bottom. (Basically the top half to the equilateral triangle)
There is a small square in the bottom right corner, which indicates that this triangle is a right triangle. This means that we can use the Pythagorean Theorem:
We know that \sqrt{10} is our hypotenuse, and therefore our c in our equation. Let’s say that x=a in our equation. Therefore we are left to find b. However, b is half the length of the side of the original equilateral triangle. An equilateral triangle means that all three sides are the same length. Therefore our side would also be \sqrt{10} units long. However we know that b is half of that value, so b= or
Plugging these values into the equation:
x^2+ (\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2})^{2}=\sqrt{10} ^{2}
This approximately equals 2.738
