Q. The equation of a parabola is y=x2−10x+19. Write the equation in vertex form.Write any numbers as integers or simplified proper or improper fractions.______
Identify vertex form: Identify the vertex form of a parabola, which is y=a(x−h)2+k.
Start with given equation: Start with the given equation y=x2−10x+19.
Complete the square: To complete the square, take half of the coefficient of x, which is −10/2=−5, and square it to get 25.
Add and subtract: Add and subtract 25 inside the equation to complete the square: y=x2−10x+25−25+19.
Rewrite equation: Rewrite the equation grouping the perfect square trinomial: y=(x2−10x+25)−6.
Factor perfect square trinomial: Factor the perfect square trinomial: y=(x−5)2−6.
Equation in vertex form: The equation in vertex form is y=(x−5)2−6.
