How did they get the vertex i need assistance

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula of a quadratic equation is

while the general formula for finding the vertex is

first of all, you have to set the value of

From the given equation, a = 2; b = -12 and c = 13. therefore, x = -(-12)/2(2) = 12/4 = 3

The 3 gotten is the answer for the value of h. To get k, substitute the value of h into the quadratic equation.

k = 2(3)^2 - 12(3) + 13 = -5

Therefore, the Vertex is V(h,k) = V(3,-5)

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
