Answer:
f(x) = (x - (-5))^2 + (-18)
Explanation:
Given:
f(x) = x^2 + 10x + 7
Rewrite f(x) in vertex form
Solution:
f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c is a quadratic function.
The vertex form of f(x) is a(x - h)^2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex.
=> f(x) = x^2 + 10x + 7
= x^2 + 10x + 25 - 18
= (x + 5)^ - 18
= (x - (-5))^2 + (-18)
=> f(x) can be rewritten in form of a(x - h)^2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex, with a = 1, h = -5, k = -18
