Hi
Identify the maximum or minimum (vertex), zeros, and axis of symmetry lin
Using the vertex form of a parabola, y=a%28x-h%29%5E2+%2Bk where(h,k) is the vertex
y = x^2+2x+1 |Completing the square
y = (x+1)^2 |Vertex is Pt(-1,0)& a Minimum as Parbola opens upward (a> 0) x = -1, the line of symmetry
0 = (x+1)^2 x = -1
