Write the function in vertex form. y=x^2+5x-9

The function in the vertex form is y = (x + 2.5)² - 15.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of the quadratic function y = ax² + bx + c is:

y = a(x - h)² + k, where

∵ The given function is y = x² + 5x - 9

∴ a = 1, b = 5, c = -9

→ Use a and b to find h

∵ h =

∴ h =

∴ h = -2.5

→ Find y at x = -2.5

∵ y = (-2.5)² + 5(-2.5) - 9 = 6.25 - 12.5 - 9

∴ y = -15.25

∴ k = -15.25

→ Substitute a, h, k in the vertex form above

∴ y = 1(x - -2.5)² + -15.25

∴ y = (x + 2.5)² - 15.25

The function in the vertex form is y = (x + 2.5)² - 15.25

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
