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?
