  1. Parabola Description: The function f(x)=x21f(x) = x^2 - 1 is a parabola that opens upwards with its vertex at the origin of the coordinate system.
  2. Vertex Definition: The vertex of the parabola is the point on the graph that is closest to the origin.
  3. Vertex Coordinates: The vertex of the parabola given by f(x)=x21f(x) = x^2 - 1 is at (0,1)(0, -1).
  4. X-coordinate of Vertex: The xx-coordinate of the vertex is 00, which is the value we are looking for.
