Answer:
vertex = (7, - 2 )
Step-by-step 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 = x² - 14x + 47
Using the method of completing the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 14x
y = x² + 2(- 7)x + 49 - 49 + 47
= (x - 7)² - 2 ← in vertex form
with vertex = (7, - 2 )
