Question 624238: Find the vertex, the line of symmetry, and the maximum or minimum value of f(x). Graph the function.
f(x)=1/5 (x+5)^(2)+6
The vertex is ?
( type an ordered pair)
The line of symmetry is?
(Type an equation)
What is the maximum?minimum value of f(x)?___
Is the value, f(-5) = 6, a minimum or maximum?

Hi,
Note; vertex form of a Parabola opening up(a>0) or down(a<0), y=a%28x-h%29%5E2+%2Bk
where is the vertex and +x+=+h+ is the Line of Symmetry
f(x)=1/5 (x+5)^(2)+6 || V(-5,6) 1/5> 0, parabola opens Up, vertex in a min point
The line of symmetry is? x = -5
the minimum value of f(x) is 6
the value, f(-5) = 6, is a minimum
