Find the vertex of the parabola whose equation is y = x^2 + 2x + 9.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-1, 8) (1, 12) (0, 9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, one thing we can do is use the formula -b/2a, where a and be are coefficents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this formula well give you the x coordinate of the vertx, then you simply plug that value back into your original equation to obtain the y coordiante of the vertex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation is given in standard form,\[y = ax^2 + bx + c\]identify a,b and c and then find the x-axis of the vertex using the formula\[x = -\frac{b}{2a}\]to find the y-axis just plug in the x to the equation

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tylertriebs graph or complete the square to change it into vertex form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

brb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldnt u get 0,9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the formula we provide you above, -b/2a---->x coordinate of vertex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this case b=1 and a=1, plug it into the formula what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 my bad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so u get the middle answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right
