Question

How do you write the quadratic in vertex form given `y=x^2-5`?

Answer 1

The vertex form of a quadratic function is given by
`y = a(x - h)^2 + k`, where `(h, k)` is the vertex of the parabola.

We can write the given equation as `color(green)(y = 1*(x - 0)^2 + (-5)` where `a = 1; h = 0; k = -5`

The vertex of the Parabola is`{0 , -5}`
