Answer:

(2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = - x^2 + 4x - 3

Factor out the negative

f(x) = - (x^2 - 4x + 3)

Factor

f(x) = -(x-3) (x-1)

The zeros are at

0 = -(x-3) (x-1)

 x-3 =0   x-1 =0

x=3   x=1

We know the vertex is 1/2 way between the zeros

(3+1)/2 = 4/2 =2

The x coordinate of the vertex is 2

Substitute x=2 into the equation

f(2) = -(2^2-4(2) +3)

     = -(4-8+3)

    = -(-1)

    = 1

The vertex is (2,1)
