vertices x^2+9x+4

vertices

Minimum (- \frac{9}{2}, - \frac{65}{4})

Solution steps

y = x^{2} + 9 x + 4

The parabola parameters are:

a = 1, b = 9, c = 4

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

x_{v} = - \frac{9}{2 \cdot 1}

Simplify

x_{v} = - \frac{9}{2}

Plug in

x_{v} = - \frac{9}{2}

to find the

y_{v}

value

y_{v} = - \frac{65}{4}

Therefore the parabola vertex is

(- \frac{9}{2}, - \frac{65}{4})

a < 0,

then the vertex is a maximum value

a > 0,

then the vertex is a minimum value

a = 1

Minimum (- \frac{9}{2}, - \frac{65}{4})
