- 16. Standard 9 Write a quadratic function in vertex form Write y = x 2 – 10 x + 22 in vertex form. Then identify the vertex. y = x 2 – 10 x + 22 Write original function. y + ? = ( x 2 – 10 x + ? ) + 22 Prepare to complete the square. y + 25 = ( x 2 – 10 x + 25 ) + 22 y + 25 = ( x – 5) 2 + 22 Write x 2 – 10 x + 25 as a binomial squared. y + 3 = ( x – 5) 2 Write in vertex form. Add – 10 2 2 ( ) = (–5) 2 = 25 to each side. The vertex form of the function is y + 3 = ( x – 5) 2 . The vertex is (5, – 3). ANSWER

SOLUTION Use vertex form because the vertex is given. y – k = a ( x – h ) 2 Vertex form y = a ( x – 1) 2 – 2 Substitute 1 for h and –2 for k . Use the other given point, ( 3 , 2 ) , to find a . 2 = a ( 3 – 1) 2 – 2 Substitute 3 for x and 2 for y . 2 = 4 a – 2 Simplify coefficient of a . 1 = a Solve for a .
