y=x2-18x+52
First off, this does not factor cleanly, but even if it did it would not help us. We must complete the square to yield a perfect-square trinomial (a trinomial that can be written in the form (x-a)2 where a is a real number.
To do this, halve the coefficient of the single-x term (for this case, the term 18x) and square it.
18/2=9
92=81
The result of this process can be added to the two terms involving x to get a perfect square trinomial. For instance, the trinomial that would result would be:
x2-18x+81=(x-9)2
However, there is already 52 of that 81 that is needed present, so in reality, you only need to add 29 (81-52=29) to the right side of the equation to get a perfect-square trinomial. Whatever is done to one side of the equation must be done to the other side, so since you added 29 to the right side, you must add 29 to the left side, giving you:
y+29=x2-18x+52+29
y+29=x2-18x+81
y+29=(x-9)2
y=(x-9)2-29
This is in vertex form, you can see that the vertex is at (9,-29)

What is the equivalent of the following equation y equals x2 - 8x plus 29?
The vertex form is y = (x - 4)2 + 13
In the vertex form of a quadratic function y equals a the quantity of x-b squared plus c what does the b tell you about the graph?
The standard form of the quadratic function in (x - b)2 + c, has a vertex of (b, c). Thus, b is the units shifted to the right of the y-axis, and c is the units shifted above the x-axis.
PLEASE helpp What equation results from completing the square and then factoring x2 plus 22x equals 31?
The vertex form of this function.X2 + 22X = 31Halve the linear term ( 22 ) square it and add it to both sides.X2 + 22X + 121 = 31 + 121Factor the left side of this equation and gather terms on the right side.(X + 11)2 = 152(X + 11)2 - 152 = 0===================vertex form of this function(- 11, - 152 )===========Vertex
What is y equals x2 plus 2x plus 1 on a graph?
Interpreting that function as y=x2+2x+1, the graph of this function would be a parabola that opens upward. It would be equivalent to y=(x+1)2. Its vertex would be at (-1,0) and this vertex would be the parabola's only zero.
What is the vertex and the axis of symmetry for the function y equals x2 plus 4x plus 1?
Take the derivative: y' = 2x + 4. Set equal to zero: 2x + 4 = 0 --> x = -2. Substitute into original and y = -3. Axis of symmetry is x = -2. Vertex is (-2,-3)
What is the vertex form of y equals x2 plus 4x - 7?
The vertex of the positive parabola turns at point (-2, -11)
Vertex for y equals x2 plus 2x plus 1?
The vertex is at (-1,0).
What is the vertex of the parabola y equals x2 plus 8x plus 5?
The vertex has a minimum value of (-4, -11)
What is the vertex of y equals x-3 plus 2?
The equation is linear and so has no vertex.
How do you write y equals x minus 4 x plus 2 in vertex form and find the vertex?
The given equation is y = x - 4x + 2 which can be written as y = -3x + 2 This is an equation of a straight line. Therefore it has no vertex and so cannot be written in vertex form.
What is the vertex of the function y equals x squared plus 4?
The vertex is at the point (0, 4).
