Find the vertex of the graph of the equation y = -2x^2 + 8x - 15 - 3x^2 - 14x + 25.
First, let's combine all like terms and see what we get. We find that
y=−5x2−6x+10
Now, the x value of the vertex can be written in the equation −b/2a for quadratics in the form ax2+bx+c
Thus, we have
x=−(−6)/2(−5)=−3/5
Plugging this in to find the y value, we get
y=11.8
Thus, the vertex is at (−0.6,11.8)
So our answer is (−0.6,11.8)
Thanks! :)
