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

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?

0.5

1 my bad
OpenStudy (anonymous):
