What is the the vertex of #y = (x - 3)^2 + x^2-4x+3#? Algebra Quadratic Equations and Functions Quadratic Functions and Their Graphs 1 Answer Tamir E. Nov 14, 2017 #(2.5,-0.5) min# Explanation: #y'=2(x-3)*1+2x-4# #=> 2x-6+2x-4# #=> 4x-10# #=> 2(2x-5)# #y'=0# #=># #2(2x-5)=0# #=> 2x-5=0# #=> 2x=5# #=> x=5/2=2.5# #y''=4>0 => min# #y_((2.5))=(2.5-3)^2+(2.5)^2-4(2.5)+3=# #=(-0.5)^2+(2.5)^2-10+3# #=0.25+6.25-7# #=-0.5# #(2.5,-0.5) min# Answer link Related questions What are the important features of the graphs of quadratic functions?
