y = 4x² + 16x ; Take the derivative: y' = 8x + 16. Set equal to zero, and x = -2.

Substitute into the original: y = 4(-2)² + 16*(-2) = -16, so the vertex is (-2,16).

Or, factor to y = 4x(x + 4).

The zeros of this are x = 0 and x = -4.

Since a parabola is symmetric, the vertex is halfway between these, or x = -2, then substitute as above and get (-2,16).
