Step-by-step explanation:

using the parabola formula:

y = a(x-h)² + k²

vertex = (h, k)

We are given a parebola equation of: y = x²+9

comparing both equations to get the vertex:

y = y

a = 1

(x-h)² = x²

x² = (x + 0)²

(x-h)² = (x + 0)²

h = 0

+k = +9

k = 9

The vertex of the parabola as (x, y): (0, 9)
