Once you calculate the X coordinate using the axis of symmetry (X=-b/2a), you plug that value in for all of the X's in the equation of the parabola. You then solve the equation for the value of Y.

The vertex would be the point where both sides of the parabola meet.


How do you graph parabola given its vertex?

The vertex of a parabola doe not provide enough information to graph anything - other than the vertex!


What is the relationship of a vertex to a parabola?

The vertex is either the minimum (very bottom) or maximum (very top) of a parabola.


What is the vertex of a parabola?

the vertex of a parabola is the 2 x-intercepts times-ed and then divided by two (if there is only 1 x-intercept then that is the vertex)

How do you find the vertex of the parabola y equals -4x2 - 16x - 11?

You would convert it to vertex form by completing the square. You can also find the optimum value as optimum value and vertex are the same.
