what is the vertex of x^2 -10x +24

Answer 1

To find the vertex of a parabola you find x by using the formula x= - b/2a. In this case x = -(-10)/2*1=5. You then find y by substituting 5 into the original equation. y = 5^2 - 10(5) + 24 = -1. So your vertex is (5, -1).

Answer 3

The vertex of any parabola can be found first by finding the X and then using that to find Y since vertexes are points. The standard form of your parabola is y=Ax^2 + Bx + C which you'll be needing for the vertex. To find X, -B/2A is what you'd need. In this case, -(-10)/2(1) which is 5.

Next we wish to find Y so we'd put 5 into the equation. 5(5)-10(5)+24. This will work out to be -1 and so the vertex will be (5, -1). It gets easier with practice.

Answer 4

You said "vertex"; all I can think of is: x^2 -10x +24

=(x-6)(x-4).
