Hey!

-------------------------------------

Formula's:

x_v = -b/2a

y_v = ax² + bx + c

-------------------------------------

Parabola Params:

a = -1

b = 12

c = 4

-------------------------------------

Solve for
x_(v)


x_(v) = (-b)/(2a)


x_(v) = (-12)/(2(-1))


x_(v) = -6

-------------------------------------

Solve for
y_(v)

Use -6 for
x_(v)


y_(v) = -6^2 + 12(6) - 4\\


y_(v) = -36 + 72 - 4


y_(v) = 32

-------------------------------------

Answer:

(6, 32)

-------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
