vertices f(x)=-x^2

vertices

f (x) = - x^{2}

Maximum (0, 0)

Solution steps

y = - x^{2}

The parabola parameters are:

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

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

x_{v} = - \frac{0}{2 ( - 1 )}

Simplify

x_{v} = 0

Plug in

x_{v} = 0

to find the

y_{v}

value

y_{v} = 0

Therefore the parabola vertex is

(0, 0)

a < 0,

then the vertex is a maximum value

a > 0,

then the vertex is a minimum value

a = - 1

Maximum (0, 0)
