vertices y=-x^2+4x

vertices

y = - x^{2} + 4 x

Maximum (2, 4)

Solution steps

y = - x^{2} + 4 x

The parabola parameters are:

a = - 1, b = 4, c = 0

x_{v} = - \frac{b}{2 a}

x_{v} = - \frac{4}{2 ( - 1 )}

Simplify

- \frac{4}{2 ( - 1 )} : 2

x_{v} = 2

Plug in

x_{v} = 2

to find the

y_{v}

value

y_{v} = 4

Therefore the parabola vertex is

(2, 4)

a < 0,

then the vertex is a maximum value

a > 0,

then the vertex is a minimum value

a = - 1

Maximum (2, 4)
