Find the vertex of the graph of the equation y = -2x^2 + 8x - 15 - 3x^2 - 14x + 25.
First, let's simplify the equation.
Combining all like terms and reeaaranging the left, we get the equation
\(y=-5x^{2}-6x+10\)
Now, we know the x value of the vertex can be written in the form \(-\frac{b}{2a}\) for quadratics in the form \(y=ax^2+bx+c\)
Plugging in what we have, we get \(-\frac{6}{10}=-0.6\)
Subsituting this back to find y, we get \(y=11.8\)
Thus, our final answer is \((-0.6,11.8)\)
Thanks! :)
