vertices x^2+16

vertices

Minimum (0, 16)

Solution steps

y = x^{2} + 16

The parabola parameters are:

a = 1, b = 0, c = 16

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

x_{v} = - \frac{0}{2 \cdot 1}

Simplify

x_{v} = 0

Plug in

x_{v} = 0

to find the

y_{v}

value

y_{v} = 16

Therefore the parabola vertex is

(0, 16)

a < 0,

then the vertex is a maximum value

a > 0,

then the vertex is a minimum value

a = 1

Minimum (0, 16)
