---
y = 2x^2 - 4x - 1
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=2, b=-4, and c=-1
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
2 -4 -1
into this solver: https://sooeet.com/math/quadratic-equation-solver.php
---
the axis of symmetry is: x = 1
---
the quadratic vertex is a minimum at: ( 1, -3 )
---
the y-intercept is: ( 0, -1 )
