You can put this solution on YOUR website!
when you have the parabola in the form you provide $\"y=a%28x-h%29%5E2%2Bk\"$
\n" ); document.write( "the vertex is straight forward, vertex =(h,k)
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "So in your problem: $\"y+=+2%2A%28x+-+1%29%5E2+-+5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "h=1, k=-5, so the vertex = (1,-5) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
