Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the vertex of the parabola represented by the equation y = -2(x - 1)^2 + 4?
  • Step 1: Identify the equation of the parabola, which is y = -2(x - 1)^2 + 4.
  • Step 2: Recognize that this equation is in the vertex form of a parabola, which is y = a(x - h)^2 + k.
  • Step 3: In the vertex form, 'h' is the x-coordinate of the vertex and 'k' is the y-coordinate of the vertex.
  • Step 4: From the equation, we see that (x - 1) means h = 1.
  • Step 5: The constant term outside the squared part is +4, which means k = 4.
  • Step 6: Now, combine h and k to find the vertex, which is (h, k) = (1, 4).
