Question

State whether the graph of the function is a parabola. If the graph is a parabola, find the parabola's vertex.

f(x)=x^2-6x+2

Answer 1

vertex at x axis or y?

Answer 2

y-axis. the answer has to be an ordered pair

Answer 3

A parabola's vertex happens at the point where its derivative is equal to zero.

Answer 4

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Answer 6

\(\large f(x)=x^2-6x+2 \)
you'll need to complete the square to get your function into this form:
\(\Large f(x) = a(x-h)^2+k \)

where (h, k ) is your vertex.
