Find the Vertex y=x^2-2x-35

Problem

y=x2−2*x−35

Solution

1. Identify the coefficients from the quadratic equation in the form y=a*x2+b*x+c Here, a=1 b=−2 and c=−35

2. Calculate the x-coordinate of the vertex using the formula x=(−b)/(2*a)

x=(−(−2))/(2*(1))

x=2/2

x=1

3. Substitute the x-coordinate back into the original equation to find the y-coordinate of the vertex.

y=(1)2−2*(1)−35

y=1−2−35

y=−36

4. State the vertex as an ordered pair (x,y)

Final Answer

Vertex=(1,−36)
