Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine if the parabola opens upwards or downwards

The given equation is $y = x^2 - 10x + 21$. Since the coefficient of the $x^2$ term is positive (1), the parabola opens upwards.

Step 2: Find the vertex

To find the vertex, we can complete the square or use the formula for the x-coordinate of the vertex, $x = -\frac{b}{2a}$, where $a=1$ and $b=-10$. $x = -\frac{-10}{2(1)} = \frac{10}{2} = 5$

Now substitute $x=5$ back into the equation to find the y-coordinate of the vertex: $y = (5)^2 - 10(5) + 21 = 25 - 50 + 21 = -4$ So, the vertex is $(5, -4)$.

Step 3: Find the y-intercept

The y-intercept occurs when $x=0$. Substitute $x=0$ into the equation: $y = (0)^2 - 10(0) + 21 = 21$ So the y-intercept is $(0, 21)$.

Final Answer:

  1. Up
  2. (5, -4)
  3. (0, 21)
