vertices f(x)=(x+4)^2+1

vertices

Minimum (- 4, 1)

Solution steps

y = (x + 4)^{2} + 1

Rewrite

y = (x + 4)^{2} + 1

in the form

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

y = x^{2} + 8 x + 17

The parabola parameters are:

a = 1, b = 8, c = 17

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

x_{v} = - \frac{8}{2 \cdot 1}

Simplify

x_{v} = - 4

Plug in

x_{v} = - 4

to find the

y_{v}

value

y_{v} = 1

Therefore the parabola vertex is

(- 4, 1)

a < 0,

then the vertex is a maximum value

a > 0,

then the vertex is a minimum value

a = 1

Minimum (- 4, 1)
