Question

If you get (x + m)² + n when completing the square, what is the turning point?

Answer 1

turning point = (- m, n )

Explanation:

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

y = (x + m)² + n ← is in vertex form, that is

y = (x - (- m) )² + n

with turning point (- m, n )
