How do we calculate the vertex of a quadratic in standard form?
1 answer:
Answer:
y = a + b x + c .
Step-by-step explanation:
Also (How to do it!):
We can find the vertex of a quadratic equation with these steps:
Get the equation in the form y = ax2 + bx + c.
Calculate -b / 2a. This is the x-coordinate of the vertex.
To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, simply plug the value of -b / 2a into the equation for x and solve for y.

Answer:
a (3,-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The number that "completes the square" is the square of half the x-coefficient, (-6/2)^2 = 9. Rearranging the given function to include the square trinomial, we have ...
f(x) = x^2 -6x +9 -1 . . . . . . . here, we have 8 = 9 - 1
f(x) = (x -3)^2 -1 . . . . . . . . . . vertex form
Comparing this to the generic vertex form ...
f(x) = (x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . vertex at (h, k)
we see that h=3 and k=-1.
The vertex is (h, k) = (3, -1).
