find the vertex of the parabola represented by each equation. 
1)  
 
The vertex of the parabola whose equation is  is
(
 is
( ,
,  )
where

 So vertex = (
So vertex = ( ,
,  ) = (
 ) = ( ,
,  ) = (
) = ( ,
,  ) = (
) = ( ,
,  )
)
2)  
You mistyped that one because it should not have two equal signs. But it's 
done the same way.
If the second equal sign was supposed to have been a +, then 
vertex = ( ,
, )
If the second equal sign was supposed to have been a -, then 
vertex = (
)
If the second equal sign was supposed to have been a -, then 
vertex = ( ,
, )
