Question 240792: Hello,
Please help me with the following. I am having a difficult time!
1. In the following exercise, find the coordinates of the vertex for the parabola defined by the given quadratic function.
f(x)=4x^2+8x+1
The vertex is? (Type an ordered pair)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! In the following exercise, find the coordinates of the vertex for the parabola defined by the given quadratic function.
f(x)=4x^2+8x+1
-----------
The vertex occurs where x = -b/2a = -8/(2*4) = -1
---
f(-1) = 4(-1)^2 + 8(-1) + 1
f(-1) = 4-8+1
f(-1) = -3
-------------------
Vertex: (-1,-3)
