Question

Use a graphing calculator to approximate the vertex of the graph of the parabola defined by the following

equation.ñ
y = 2x^2 -x + 6

Answer 1

(1/4, 5 7/8)

Explanation:

The vertex is the extreme point of the graph. Here, it is a minimum.

For this quadratic function, a graphing calculator can tell you exactly what the vertex is. (No approximation is required.)

The graphing calculator in the attachment shows the vertex is ...

(0.25, 5.875) = (1/4, 5 7/8)
