Question 246800: Hello,
I do I solve this problem the problem is asking for me to find the vertex, the axis of symmetry, and the maximum or minimum function value and, to graph the function
f%28x%29=4x%5E2%2B16x%2B13
Thank you, so much for your help you guys are great.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
find the vertex, the axis of symmetry, and the maximum or minimum function value and, to graph the function
f(x)=4x^2+16x+13
----------
Since 4 > 0 this problem has a minimum at its vertex.
-----------
Vertex occurs when x = -b/2a = -16/(2*4) = -2
f(-2) = 4(-2)^2+16(-2)+13 = 16-32+13 = -3
---
Vertex: (-2,-3)
Axis is a vertical line thru the vertex.
Axis: x = -2
