Question 464301: Dear Algebra Gods, please help me answer this question? I am grateful for your help and wisdom.
Find the vertex, the line of symmetry, the maximum or minimum value of f(x. Graph the function:
f(x)=1/2(x+9)^2+5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x)=1/2(x+9)^2+5
f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k
a=1/2, h=-9, k=5
the vertex=(-9, 5)
y=5 is the minimum
x=-9 is the line of symmetry
