we have that
F(x)=x²-10x+44
Group terms that contain the same variable
f(x)=(x²-10x)+44
Complete the square Remember to balance the equation
f(x)=(x²-10x+25-25)+44
Rewrite as perfect squaresf(x)=(x-5)²-25+44
f(x)=(x-5)²+19
this is the equation of a vertical parabola with vertex (5,19)see the attached figure


F(x)=x^2-10x+44 complete the square-example-1
