SOLUTION: Find the vertex, the line of symmetry, and the maximum or minimum value of f(x). f(x) = 1/2(x+8)^2 + 2

Question 317603: Find the vertex, the line of symmetry, and the maximum or minimum value of f(x). f(x) = 1/2(x+8)^2 + 2

The parabola is in vertex form,
where (h,k) is the vertex.
Comparing,
(h,k)=(-8,2)
The axis of symmetry is then
The coefficient of the term is positive, so the parabola opens upward and the value at the vertex is a minimum.
