What is the vertex of this parabola? y= 2x² + 4x +5
1 answer:
Answer:
vertex = (- 1, 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a parabola in standard form
y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )
Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is
= -
y = 2x² + 4x + 5 ← is in standard form
with a = 2, b = 4, then
= -
= - 1
Substitute x = - 1 into the equation for corresponding value of y, that is
y = 2(- 1)² + 4(- 1) + 5 = 2 - 4 + 5 = 3
vertex = (- 1, 3 )

We need to solve for x, we need to get x alone
Lets start by removing -5
Add 5 on both sides
Now to isolate x , we need to remove the square from x
To remove square , take square root on both sides
square and square root will get cancelled
