Math Problem Statement

Rewrite the quadratic functions in standard form and give the vertex.

Solution

The image contains a set of quadratic functions, and the task is to rewrite each one in standard form and find the vertex.

To convert the quadratic functions into standard form f(x)=a(xh)2+kf(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k, we will complete the square and identify the vertex (h,k)(h, k).

I'll start solving these one by one. Let's begin with the first function:

6. f(x)=x212x+32f(x) = x^2 - 12x + 32

  1. The equation is f(x)=x212x+32f(x) = x^2 - 12x + 32.
  2. To complete the square, take half the coefficient of xx, square it, and add/subtract it inside the equation.
    • Half of 12-12 is 6-6, and (6)2=36(-6)^2 = 36.
    • So, rewrite the function as: f(x)=(x212x+36)36+32=(x6)24f(x) = (x^2 - 12x + 36) - 36 + 32 = (x - 6)^2 - 4
  3. The standard form is f(x)=(x6)24f(x) = (x - 6)^2 - 4.
  4. The vertex is (h,k)=(6,4)(h, k) = (6, -4).

I'll now continue with the rest.

7. g(x)=x2+2x3g(x) = x^2 + 2x - 3

  1. The equation is g(x)=x2+2x3g(x) = x^2 + 2x - 3.
  2. Completing the square:
    • Half of 2 is 1, and (1)2=1(1)^2 = 1.
    • Rewrite the function: g(x)=(x2+2x+1)13=(x+1)24g(x) = (x^2 + 2x + 1) - 1 - 3 = (x + 1)^2 - 4
  3. The standard form is g(x)=(x+1)24g(x) = (x + 1)^2 - 4.
  4. The vertex is (1,4)(-1, -4).

8. f(x)=x2xf(x) = x^2 - x

  1. The equation is f(x)=x2xf(x) = x^2 - x.
  2. Completing the square:
    • Half of 1-1 is 12-\frac{1}{2}, and (12)2=14\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{4}.
    • Rewrite the function: f(x)=(x2x+14)14=(x12)214f(x) = \left(x^2 - x + \frac{1}{4}\right) - \frac{1}{4} = \left(x - \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 - \frac{1}{4}
  3. The standard form is f(x)=(x12)214f(x) = \left(x - \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 - \frac{1}{4}.
  4. The vertex is (12,14)\left(\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{1}{4}\right).
