Question 475591: Find the vertex, line of symmetry and the minimum maximum value of f(x)
f(x)=1/2(x+8)^2+8 I get vertex (-16x,0) line of symetry -16x, min/max -16 value of f(-8)=8 is minimum graph points up is this correct?

Hint: The vertex of f%28x%29=a%28x-h%29%5E2%2Bk is (h,k) and the line of symmetry is x=h. The max/min value is k. Also, k is a min if a > 0 or k is a max if a < 0.
