Completing the Square to Find Turning Points

For each of the following quadratic graphs:


a. State whether it has a maximum or a minimum turning point.

b. Complete the square.

c. Give the coordinates of the turning point.

1. y = x² + 10x +2 (worked example)

a. The coefficient of x² is positive so the graph has a minimum point.

b. The coefficient of x is 10; half of 10 is 5, so we place 5 in the brackets along with the x: (x + 5)
(x + 5)² expands to give x² + 10x + 25, which means that we need to subtract 25:
y = (x + 5)² – 25 + 2
y = (x + 5)² – 23

c. y is minimum when x = −5, and this gives a y value of −23. The turning point is (−5, −23).

2. y = x2 − 8x + 3 3. y = x2 + 9x − 9 4. y = x2 − 3x − 6
