The vertex is a term commonly used in mathematics, specifically in the context of graphing quadratic functions. The vertex of a quadratic function is the point on the graph where the function reaches its maximum (for a downward-opening parabola) or minimum (for an upward-opening parabola).
The vertex of a quadratic function in the form of "f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c" can be found using the formula:
x = -b / (2a)
Once you have the x-coordinate of the vertex, you can substitute it back into the original equation to find the y-coordinate.
If you provide the specific quadratic function for which you need to find the vertex, I can assist you further in calculating it.
