Explanation:

Image result for Identify the vertex of the following parabola. y = x2 - 4x +1

To find the vertex of a parabola, you first need to find x (or y, if your parabola is sideways) through the formula for the axis of symmetry. Then, you'll use that value to solve for y (or x if your parabola opens to the side) by using the quadratic equation. Those two coordinates are your parabola's vertex.
