Q. The equation of a parabola is y=x2+10x+27. 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.The vertex form of a parabola is given by the equation y=a(x−h)2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.
Complete square: Complete the square to rewrite the given equation in vertex form.We start with the given equation y=x2+10x+27. To complete the square, we need to find a value that, when added and subtracted to the equation, forms a perfect square trinomial with x2+10x. This value is (10/2)2=25. We add and subtract 25 within the equation.y=x2+10x+25+27−25
Factor and simplify: Factor the perfect square trinomial and simplify.Now we factor the trinomial x2+10x+25 to get (x+5)2. We then combine the constants 27−25 to get 2.y=(x+5)2+2This is the equation in vertex form, where the vertex is (−5,2).
