Find the vertex of the parabola y=2x^2+8x-9

The vertex is (-2,-17).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given y=2x²+8x-9

To find the x-coordinates we use:

xv= -b/2a

where a=2 and b=8

Now put the values in the formula:

xv= -(8)/2(2)

xv=-8/4

xv= -2

Now to find the y coordinates, we will simply substitute the value in the given equation:

y=2x²+8x-9

y=2(-2)²+8(-2)-9

y=2(4)-16-9

y=8-16-9

y=-8-9

y= -17

Therefore the vertex is(-2, -17)

the domain of a function is the set of input values, x , for which a function is defined. the domain is shown in the left oval in the picture below. the function provides an output value, f(x) , for each member of the domain.
