Let the point (x,y) = your vertex\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We use x = -b/2b to find x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x = line of symmetry\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let a = 5 (the number in front of x^2) and b = 0 since there is no be term.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = -(0)/2(5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 0/10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 0....This is your line of symmetry. This line evenly divides the parabola formed by the function f(x) = 5x^2 on the xy-plane.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To find your vertex, replace x with 0 in your function and solve for y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But, where is y?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We can write y as f(x) or vice-versa. They both mean the same thing.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 5(0)^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 5(0)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your vertex is the point (0,0). This parabola opens UPWARD and has a minimum point at the origin, which is represented by (0,0).\r
