Question 388126
y = (1/3)*x^2 - 2*x + 7
x = -b/2a
------------------
a = (1/3)
b = -2
c = 7
------------------
-b/2a = -(-2)/(2/3) = 2/(2/3) = 2*3/2 = 6/2 = 3
-------------------
you found x
now you need to find f(x) to get the y value
when x = 3, (1/3)*x^2 - 2*x + 7 = (1/3)*3^2 - 2*3 + 7
this equals 3 - 6 + 7 = 4
---------------------
your vertex should be at the point pair of (x,y) = 3,4)
-----------------------
the graph of this equation looks like this:
{{{graph(600,600,-5,5,-2,8,(1/3)x^2 -2x + 7)}}}
you can see from the graph that the vertex is at the point (x,y) = 3,4)
