I have f(x)=5x^2 - 7x

 

 

x of summit "S":

 

x= -b/2a

 

x= - (-7) / 2(5)

 

x= 7/10

 

 

y of summit "S":

 

y= 5 (7/10)^2 - 7 (7/10)

 

y= 49/20 - 49/70

 

y=49/20 - 14/20 = 35/20 = 7/5

 

Coords of summit "S": (7/10, 7/5)

 

Do I make sense?

You make sense until this line:  y= 49/20 - 49/70 

 

This doesn't follow from: y= 5 (7/10)^2 - 7 (7/10)

 

You should have:  y = 49/20 - 49/10 instead

 

I'll leave you to take it from there.

 

And it isn't a peak, it's a trough:

I don't speak english so fluently, so I used peak regardless of the direction the opening faces, sorry.

 

Could you explain to me why 7 (7/10) would = 49/10?

7 (7/10)=

 

(7 / 1)  * (7 / 10)  =

 

49 / 10
