Question

The coordinates of the vertex of the parabola, whose equation is y = 2x2 + 4x - 5 are:

  1. (2, 11)
  2. (-1, -7)
  3. (1, 1)
  4. (-2, -5)

hintHint:

The vertex of a parabola is its sharp turning point. It is the point where the parabola intersects its axis of symmetry.

The correct answer is: (-1, -7)


    Given the quadratic equation, y equals 2 x squared plus 4 x minus 5
    Now we isolate constants to the other side, y plus 5 equals 2 x squared plus 4 x
    Adding 2 on both sides, we get
    y space plus space 5 space plus space 2 equals 2 open parentheses x squared space plus space 2 x space plus space 1 close parentheses
y space plus space 7 equals 2 left parenthesis x space plus space 1 right parenthesis squared
y space equals space 2 left parenthesis x space plus space 1 right parenthesis squared space minus space 7
    The vertex form of the quadratic equation is y equals 2 left parenthesis x plus 1 right parenthesis squared minus 7.
    Therefore, vertex is (-1, -7).

    The other method to find the vertex of a parabola is as We know that the x-coordinate of a vertex, (i.e) h is -b/2a. Now, substitute the x-coordinate value in the given standard form of the parabola equation y=ax2+bx+c, we will get the y-coordinate of a vertex.
