Flight Path of a Bird In this activity, you'll use quadratic equations to model situations and interpret the solutions to the equation

The flight path of a bird can be represented by this equation, where x represents the horizontal distance, in feet, from a tree

branch and y represents the height, in feet, relative to the ground.

y = 2x2 - 8x + 10

Part A

Question

Rewrite the equation modeling the path of the bird in vertex form by completing the square,

Substitute the values of a, h, and k to complete the equation.
