Question

In what quadrant is the vertex of parabola of the function .

Y = -14.1(x - 59)^2 + 36.81

Answer 1

first quadrant

Explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

y = - 14.1(x - 59)² + 36.81 ← is in vertex form

with vertex = (59, 36.81) ← point in first quadrant

Answer 2

Quadrant I

Explanation:

The vertex is in the first quadrant, or Quadrant I. The vertex is where the parabola makes its peak, and since the peak is located in Quadrant I, so is the vertex.
