A parabola has the equation y = x2 - 10x + 28. What are the coordinates of its vertex?h Enter your answer in the box with parenthesis but no spaces in the form

Respuesta :

We have the parabola:

[tex]y=x^2-10x+28[/tex]

There is one expression that gives you the x-coordinate of the vertex:

[tex]-\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

We know that the standard form of a quadratic function is: ax^2+bx+c, then:

[tex]-\frac{(-10)}{2(1)}=\frac{10}{2}=5[/tex]

Now, having x=5 we can substitute it on the original equation:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=(5)^2-10(5)+28 \\ y=25-50+28 \\ y=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The vertex of the parabola is (5, 3)
