Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve for in the first equation and then solve for in the second equation.
I will then use the following identity to get right of the parameter, :
(Pythagorean Identity).
Let's begin with .
Subtract 2 on both sides:
Divide both sides by -3:
Now time for the second equation, .
Subtract 1 on both sides:
Divide both sides by 4:
Now let's plug it into our Pythagorean Identity:
Y = x^2 + 2x - 1 = x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1 - 1 = (x + 1)^2 - 2
The vertex of a parabola given by y = a(x - h)^2 + k is (h, k).
Therefore, the vertex of y = (x + 1)^2 - 2 is (-1, -2)
