Q. Find the coordinates of the vertex of the following parabola using graphing technology. Write your answer as an (x,y) point.y=−3x2−36x−126Answer:
Calculate x-coordinate of vertex: To find the vertex of a parabola in the form y=ax2+bx+c, we can use the vertex formula x=−2ab to find the x-coordinate of the vertex.Here, a=−3 and b=−36.Let's calculate the x-coordinate of the vertex.x=−(−36)/(2×−3)x=36/−6x=−6
Substitute x-coordinate into equation: Now that we have the x-coordinate of the vertex, we can substitute it back into the original equation to find the y-coordinate of the vertex.y=−3(−6)2−36(−6)−126y=−3(36)+216−126y=−108+216−126y=108−126y=−18
