Find the vertex. -x^2 - 2x + 3

OpenStudy (aravindg):

first of all note that this is hat shaped graph symmetrical about -1

OpenStudy (aravindg):

so wat do u think for which value of x we get macximum value of y?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

@esmeier1434

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no clue.. :/

OpenStudy (aravindg):

u should have :) i iencourage my friends to think rather than mug up

OpenStudy (aravindg):

then u will learn it easily

OpenStudy (aravindg):

here is a quote for u "dont run after succes chase excellence success will follow u"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=-x^2-2x+3\\ \text{The vertex is given by }\\( \frac{-b}{2a} \ , \ \frac{4ac-b^2}{4a})\\\\ \text{Substitute to get : }\\\\ \frac{-(-2)}{2(-1)} \ , \ \frac{4(-1)(3)-(-2)^2}{4(-1)}\\\\ \text{The vertex is }\\(-1, 4) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\Huge\infty \]
