Question: What is the vertex of the quadratic function y = 2x^2 - 8x + 5?
Options:
Correct Answer: (2, -3)
Solution:
The vertex can be found using the formula x = -b/(2a). Here, a = 2 and b = -8, so x = 8/4 = 2. Plugging x = 2 into the equation gives y = 2(2)^2 - 8(2) + 5 = -3. Thus, the vertex is (2, -3).
