Question

A family digs a hole in their back yard to plant a tree. Those holes can be represented by the quadratic formula y = 2x^2 + 4x – 3, where the x axis represents the ground. Find the lowest point of the hole and write it as an ordered pair. Example: (1, 2) where 1 = x and 2 = y.

Hint: this is the vertex of the equation.

Answer 1

Do you know how to find the vertex?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

So this equation is a parabola right? And the lowest point of a parabola is the vertex.;
