Q. Use the figure to complete each part.\newline(a) Write two other names for RQS \angle R Q S . RSQ R S Q and SQR S Q R \newline(b) Name the vertex of SQT \angle S Q T .\newlineT\newline(c) Name the sides of 1 \angle 1 .\newline \square and \square
  1. Identify vertex form: Identify the vertex form of a parabola, which is y=a(xh)2+ky = a(x - h)^2 + k.
  2. Given equation analysis: Look at the given equation y=x210x+25y = x^2 - 10x + 25. Notice that the constant term is 2525.
  3. Calculate half square: Calculate the square of half the linear coefficient: (102)2=(5)2=25(-\frac{10}{2})^2 = (-5)^2 = 25.
  4. Recognize perfect trinomial: Recognize that the right side of y=x210x+25y = x^2 - 10x + 25 is a perfect square trinomial because the constant term is the square of half the linear coefficient.
  5. Rewrite in vertex form: Rewrite the equation in vertex form by completing the square: y=(x5)2y = (x - 5)^2.
