Solve for when the first derivative is equal to zero. If you don't know how to take a derivative, then put the equation into the form y = Ax2 + Bx + C. The derivative of this will be 2Ax + B, so at x = -B / (2*A), and y = -B2/(4*A) + C
Vertex
The highest point of a parabola is called the "maximum," while the lowest point is referred to as the "minimum." These points occur at the vertex of the parabola. If the parabola opens upwards, it has a minimum point, and if it opens downwards, it has a maximum point.
The vertex is either the minimum (very bottom) or maximum (very top) of a parabola.
It is either a maximum or minimum value depending on its downwards shape or its upwards shape
A quadratic function can only have either a maximum or a minimum point, not both. The shape of the graph, which is a parabola, determines this: if the parabola opens upwards (the coefficient of the (x^2) term is positive), it has a minimum point; if it opens downwards (the coefficient is negative), it has a maximum point. Therefore, a quadratic function cannot exhibit both extreme values simultaneously.
A parabola's maximum or minimum is its vertex.
A parabola opening up has a minimum, while a parabola opening down has a maximum.
The point on the parabola where the maximum area occurs is at the vertex of the parabola. This is because the vertex represents the maximum or minimum point of a parabolic function.
Vertex
When you look at the parabola if it opens downwards then the parabola has a maximum value (because it is the highest point on the graph) if it opens upward then the parabola has a minimum value (because it's the lowest possible point on the graph)
The vertex, or maximum, or minimum.
The vertex is either the minimum (very bottom) or maximum (very top) of a parabola.
There's the vertex (turning point), axis of symmetry, the roots, the maximum or minimum, and of course the parabola which is the curve.

Standard notation for a quadratic function: y= ax2 + bx + c which forms a parabola, a is positive , minimum value (parabola opens upwards on an x-y graph) a is negative, maximum value (parabola opens downward) See related link.
the vertex, or very bottom point.I can also be called the maximum or minimum.
The vertex of a parabola is the minimum or maximum value of the parabola. To find the maximum/minimum of a parabola complete the square: x² + 4x + 5 = x² + 4x + 4 - 4 + 5 = (x² + 4x + 4) + (-4 + 5) = (x + 2)² + 1 As (x + 2)² is greater than or equal to 0, the minimum value (vertex) occurs when this is zero, ie (x + 2)² = 0 → x + 2 = 0 → x = -2 As (x + 2)² = 0, the minimum value is 0 + 1 = 1. Thus the vertex of the parabola is at (-2, 1).
