00:01
So in number seven, you say you have a quadratic function.
00:02
We know the vertex is at the ordered pair negative 8, 1, and we know that the ordered pair negative 10, negative 9 is another point on the graph.
00:09
So in vertex form, which is what they give us, we want to find a, h, and k.
00:14
Well, remember, in vertex form, the ordered pair for the vertex is the ordered pair hk.
00:19
So in this particular case, that would mean that h is negative 8 and k is equal to 1.
00:24
So now we have those two values, so i'll mark them off to the side.
00:27
So h will be negative 8, and k will equal to positive 1.
00:32
All right.
00:33
Well, now we have to find our a value.
00:35
Well, because we know the vertex, we know h and k, and x and f of x represent another or an order to pair on the graph, which we have.
00:42
So to solve for a, we're going to plug in negative 9 for f of x and negative 10 for x.
00:46
So we're going to have negative 9 equal to a times x, which is negative 10, minus h, which is negative 8 quantity squared, plus our k value, which is equal to 1.
00:57
Now we'll simplify.
00:59
Well, these two negatives become a positive.
01:01
So we really have negative 10 plus 8, which is equal to negative 2, squared is positive 4.
01:06
So negative 9 will equal to 4a plus 1.
01:09
So the solve for a will subtract 1 from both sides.
01:12
So negative 10 will equal to 4a.
01:14
So then we'll divide both sides of our equation by 4 and negative 10 divided by 4 is negative 2 .5.
01:20
So perfect.
01:21
Now we have our h, k and a values.
01:25
So this would be the answer to number seven.
01:28
Now i'm going to scroll down here.
01:30
Let's take a look at number eight.
01:31
So it says to complete the square to find the vertex for the given problem.
01:35
So we have y equals x squared minus eight x plus seven.
01:39
So we're trying to rewrite this in our vertex form, which means we need to use completing the square.
01:44
So what i'm going to do is i'm going to block off the first two terms because we have to find what we can add to x squared minus eight x that will make it a perfect square.
01:52
Well, to complete the square, what we do is b divided by 2 square, where b is the coefficient of x, so that would be negative 8...
