vertices 4x^2-8x-2

vertices

Minimum (1, - 6)

Solution steps

y = 4 x^{2} - 8 x - 2

The parabola parameters are:

a = 4, b = - 8, c = - 2

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

x_{v} = - \frac{( - 8 )}{2 \cdot 4}

Simplify

x_{v} = 1

Plug in

x_{v} = 1

to find the

y_{v}

value

y_{v} = - 6

Therefore the parabola vertex is

(1, - 6)

a < 0,

then the vertex is a maximum value

a > 0,

then the vertex is a minimum value

a = 4

Minimum (1, - 6)
