\[
f(x)=(x-1)^{2}
\]
The vertex of the parabola is $\square$ . (Type an ordered pair.)
Solution
Solution Steps
To find the vertex of the parabola given by the function \( f(x) = (x-1)^2 \), we recognize that this is a standard form of a parabola \( f(x) = (x-h)^2 + k \), where the vertex is at the point \((h, k)\). In this case, the function is already in vertex form with \( h = 1 \) and \( k = 0 \).
Step 1: Identify the Vertex Form
The given function is \( f(x) = (x - 1)^2 \). This is in the vertex form of a parabola, which is expressed as \( f(x) = (x - h)^2 + k \), where \((h, k)\) represents the vertex.
Step 2: Determine \( h \) and \( k \)
From the function \( f(x) = (x - 1)^2 \), we can identify:
\( h = 1 \)
\( k = 0 \)
Step 3: Write the Vertex as an Ordered Pair
Thus, the vertex of the parabola is given by the ordered pair \((h, k)\), which is \((1, 0)\).
