Answer:

B

Explanation:

f(x) =
x^(2) -8x+3

=> f(x)=
x^(2) -2(x)(4)+4^(2)-4^(2)+3

=> f(x) =
(x-4)^(2)-4^(2)+3

=> f(x) =
(x-4)^(2)-16+3

=> f(x) =
(x-4)^(2)-13

Answer:

f(x) = (x - 4)² - 13

Explanation:

f(x) = x² − 8x + 3

x² − 8x + 3 = 0

x² - 8x = -3

x² - 8x + 4² = -3 + 4²

x² - 8x + 4² = -3 + 16

x² - 8x + 4² = 13

(x - 4)² = 13

(x - 4)² - 13 = 0

The vertex form of a quadriatic function f(x) = x2 − 8x + 3 is;

f(x) = (x - 4)² - 13
