Given


f(x)=-2x^2+4x-3

Solution


\begin{gathered} f(x)=-2x^2+4x-3 \\ f(x)=ax^2+bx+c \\ in\text{ vertex form} \\ f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k \\ \\ h=-(b)/(2a)=-(4)/(2(-2))=-(4)/(-4)=1 \\ \\ k=f(h)^ \\ k=-2(1)^2+4(1)-3 \\ k=-2+4-3 \\ k=2-3 \\ k=-1 \end{gathered}

The quadratic in vertex form is


f(x)=-2\left(x-1\right)²-1

The vertex is


Vertex\text{ }\lparen1,-1)
