Standard to Vertex form Procedure

y = -0.00211x2 + 1.06x (1)

Step 1) Firstly, you set equaion (1) to zero(0) -0.00211x2 + 1.06x = 0 (2)

Step 2) Secondly, you divide equation (2) by -0.00211(to make the coefficient of x 2 equal 1

x2 - 502.4x = 0 (4)

Step 3)

x2 -502.4x + (-502.4/2)2 = 0 + (-502.4/2)2 (5)x2 - 502.4x + 63,093.8 = 63,093.8 (6)

Step 4) Now, factorize equation (6).(x-502.4)2 = 63,093.8 (7)

Step 5) rearrange equation (7).(x-502.4)2 - 63,093.8 = 0 ( This is the vertex form)

The equation (4) above is in the form Ax + B + C = 0, where A = 1, B= -502.4, and C = 0

Now, divide B by two and square it. Add the result to both sides of equation (4) above
