Assuming the missing symbol there is an equals sign, then we have:

y - 2x2 - 4x = 4

We can find it's vertex very easily by solving for y, and finding where it's derivative equals zero:

y = 2x2 + 4x + 4

y' = 4x + 4

0 = 4x + 4

x = -1

So the vertex occurs Where x = -1. Now we can plug that back into the original equation to find y:

y = 2x2 + 4x + 4

y = 2 - 4 + 4

y = 2

So the vertex is at the point (-1, 2)

Is the vertex the highest point of the parabola?

The vertex of a parabola is the highest point if the parabola opens downward, making it a maximum point. Conversely, if the parabola opens upward, the vertex is the lowest point, known as a minimum. Thus, whether the vertex is the highest or lowest point depends on the direction in which the parabola opens.
