Answer:

The vertex is at (3, 2)

Explanation:

Hello!

Vertex

The vertex of a parabola is the point of turning, or the minimum/maximum point of the parabola.

Since the graph opens up, the vertex is at the minimum point.

The y-value is 2, and the x-value is 3, giving us the vertex of (3, 2)

Other Parts

There are other parts to parabola than just the vertex.

Standard form of a quadratic:
ax^2 + bx + c

Other parts include:

  • Axis of Symmetry, the line where the parabola is exactly symmetrical, and when folded in half, the sides will match. It is found using the formula
    -(b)/(2a)
  • X-intercepts, also known as the roots or zeroes of the graph, is where the graph touches the x-axis. It is found using the quadratic formula:
    x = (-b\pm√(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)
  • Y-intercepts, the point where the graph hits the y-axis. It is the "b" value in the equation.
