Answer:
(4, -15)
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want the vertex of ...
y = x² -8x +1
We can add and subtract 16 to complete the square.
y = x² -8x +16 +1 -16
y = (x -4)² -15
Compare to the vertex form ...
y = (x -h)² +k . . . . . . . quadratic with vertex (h, k)
We see that the vertex of the given function is ...
(h, k) = (4, -15)
