In a quadratic equation, the vertex (which will be the maximum value of a negative quadratic and the minimum value of a positive quadratic) is in the exact center of any two x values whose corresponding y values are equal. So, you'd start by solving for x, given any y value in the function's range. Then, you'd solve for y where x equals the middle value of the two x's given in the previous. For example:

y = x2
4 = x2
x = 2, -2

y = (0)2
y = 0

Which is, indeed, the vertex of y = x2

In what cases might understanding Quadratic Functions and Equations be important?

Quadratic Equations are used every day, like in most sports or anything you may throw because it kind of reminds people of the gravitational pull. In my opinion where you would see it a great deal is volley ball. Every time you set, serve or bump the ball it is going to go up and come down or if u mess up it is going to go down and then bounce back up. So as it could be imagined a volley ball does have a maximum and minimum height depending on how it is hit. A volley ball will go in the general shape of a parabola. -Asha Omar
