What is the vertex of the parabola defined by the equation y = x2 + 4x + 4?

Question

nnesha · Answer

the formula to find x-coordinate of the vertex is $$\rm x=\frac{-b}{2a}$$
 a,b,c values are $$\rm Ax^2+Bx+C=0$$
where a=leading coefficient 
b= coefficient of x term 
c=constant 

find x and then substitute this x value into the original quadratic equation to find y coordinate

so would it be 2,0?

michele_laino · Answer

hint:
$a=1$ and $b=4$
so:
$${x_V} = \frac{{ - b}}{{2a}} = \frac{{ - 4}}{{2 \cdot 1}} = ...?$$

michele_laino · Answer

wherein $x_V$ stands for x-coordinate of the vertex

1,2?

nnesha · Answer

how did you get that ??

nnesha · Answer

i know there are 4 options:
first one is )  2,0
2nd)  1,2
3rd) idk
4th) idk
 ;) don't guess! c;

ccboo24 · Answer

there's 2,0 1,2 -2,0 4,2 0,0

nnesha · Answer

okay please plugin b and a value into the equation 
just like in 3rd comment on this post 
and then simplify the fraction

ccboo24 · Answer

4,2

how did you get that ?
what's -4/2 = ?
