Write the equation of a quadratic function who has the vertex of (4,-7)

Sagot :

Given:

The vertex of a quadratic function is (4,-7).

To find:

The equation of the quadratic function.

Solution:

The vertex form of a quadratic function is:

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]          ...(i)

Where a is a constant and (h,k) is vertex.

The vertex is at point (4,-7).

Putting h=4 and k=-7 in (i), we get

[tex]y=a(x-4)^2+(-7)[/tex]

[tex]y=a(x-4)^2-7[/tex]

The required equation of the quadratic function is [tex]y=a(x-4)^2-7[/tex] where, a is a constant.

Putting a=1, we get

[tex]y=(1)(x-4)^2-7[/tex]

[tex]y=(x^2-8x+16)-7[/tex]             [tex][\because (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2][/tex]

[tex]y=x^2-8x+9[/tex]

Therefore, the required quadratic function is [tex]y=x^2-8x+9[/tex].
