Find the vertex of the graph of the equation y = -2x^2 + 8x - 15 - 3x^2 - 14x + 25.
First, let's combine all like terms. We get
y=−5x2−6x+10
Now, the equation for the x value of the vertex is
x=−b2a for quadratics in the form of ax2+bx+c
Thus, we have x=−(−6)2(−5)=−610
Plugging in x into the equation for y, we have
y=595
Thus the vertex is (−35,595)
So our answer is (−35,595)
Thanks! :)
