Question 622703: I need help with this parabola question it is hard for me to find the vertex of this question.
Find the vertex of the parabola y = 12 x + 4 - x^2. Enter your answer as a point (h,k), including the parentheses.
The vertex is at the point: Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi,
y = 12x + 4 - x^2. |putting into the general order...
y = ax^2 + bx + 4
y = -x^2 + 12x + 4 |putting into Vertex Form by completing the Square
y = -(x-6)^2 + 36 + 4
y = -(x-6)^2 + 40 V(6,40)
If You are having difficulty completing the Square, this short-cut may help:
