(5,-4)" and "x=5

Explanation:

The equation of a parabola in color(blue)"vertex form" is.

color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=a(x-h)^2+k)color(white)(2/2)|)))
where (h ,k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a constant.

y=(x-5)^2-4" is in this form"

"with "h=5" and "k=-4

rArr"vertex "=(5,-4)

The parabola will have a maximum/ minimum dependent on.

• "If "a>0" then minimum " uuu

• "If "a<0" then maximum" nnn

"here "a=1>0rArr" minimum at "(5,-4)

The axis of symmetry passes through the vertex and is vertical with equation x = 5

graph{(y-x^2+10x-21)(y-1000x+5000)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
