vertices x^2=-12y

vertices

x^{2} = - 12 y

Maximum (0, 0)

Solution steps

x^{2} = - 12 y

Rewrite

x^{2} = - 12 y

in the form

y = a x^{2} + b x + c

y = - \frac{x ^{2}}{12}

The parabola parameters are:

a = - \frac{1}{12}, b = 0, c = 0

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

x_{v} = - \frac{0}{2 ( - \frac{1}{12} )}

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 = - \frac{1}{12}

Maximum (0, 0)
