Q. The equation of a parabola is y=x2−10x+30. 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+30.
Complete the square:Complete the square by adding and subtracting (10/2)2, which is 25, to the equation.y=x2−10x+25+30−25
Rewrite equation: Rewrite the equation grouping the perfect square trinomial and combining the constants. y=(x2−10x+25)+30−25
Factor and simplify: Factor the perfect square trinomial and simplify the constants.y=(x−5)2+5
