What is the vertex of g(x) = 8x2 - 64x?
(4, -128), (-4, -128), (4, -16), (-4, -16)
Solution:
Given g(x) = 8x2 - 64x
The vertex of a function is represented as coordinates (h,k).
In order to find vertex, we need to equate the derivative of given function to zero
g’(x) = d/dx {8x2 - 64x}=0
⇒ 16(x) - 64 = 0
⇒ 16x = 64
⇒ x = 64/16 = 4
⇒ x = 4
Put x = 4 in g(x), we get
⇒ 8(4)2 - 64(4)
⇒ y = 128 - 256
⇒ y = -128
Hence, the vertex is at (4, -128)
What is the vertex of g(x) = 8x2 - 64x?
Summary:
The vertex of g(x) = 8x2 - 64x is at (4, -128).
