Question

In the parabola y = (x + 1)2 + 2, what is the vertex?

Answer 1

Vertex: (-1,2)
as general form is y=a(x-p)^2+q and vertex is (p,q)
so p=-1 ands q=2 so vertex is (-1,2)

Answer 2

The formula for a parabola is (y-k) = (x-h)^2, or y = (x-h)^2 + k, so the vertex in that parabola would be (-1, 2).
