Find the vertex of this parabola:
y = -x2 - 4x - 2

Sagot :

Hello!

[tex]===============================[/tex]

In order to find the vertex of a parabola, we use the following formula:

[tex]\bold{\displaystyle\frac{-b}{2a} }}[/tex]

Remember, a parabola looks like so:

[tex]\tt{y=ax^2+bx+c}[/tex]

Now we know what a and b stand for.

In this case, b is -4, and a is -1:

[tex]\hookrightarrow\sf{\displaystyle\frac{-(-4)}{2(-1)}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\hookrightarrow\sf{\displaystyle\frac{4}{-2} }}[/tex]

Divide:

[tex]\hookrightarrow\sf{-2}[/tex]
