of the parabola.

To find the vertex of the parabola given in this equation, we can first rearrange the equation into vertex form:

𝑦 = π‘₯^2 βˆ’ 10π‘₯ + 16
= (π‘₯^2 βˆ’ 10π‘₯ + 25) βˆ’ 9
= (π‘₯ βˆ’ 5)^2 βˆ’ 9

The vertex form of a parabola is (h, k), where h is the x-coordinate of the vertex and k is the y-coordinate of the vertex.

In this equation, we can see that the x-coordinate of the vertex is 5 (since the π‘₯ βˆ’ 5 term is squared and thus always positive). To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, we can simply evaluate the equation when π‘₯ = 5:

𝑦 = (5 βˆ’ 5)^2 βˆ’ 9 = -9

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is at (5, -9).
