(-2,36) (-1,-16) (2,-12) (1,0)

You can find the vertex's "x" by using: \[-b / 2a\]

You can then plug the resulting x back into the equation to get the corresponding y.

which is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not just going to TELL you the answer. Do you know how to use the equation there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no
