You can calculate this by taking the derivative of the equation with respect to x, and solving it for a value of zero:
y = x2 - 2x - 5
∴ dy/dx = 2x - 2
Let dy/dx =0:
0 = 2x - 2
∴ 2x = 2
∴ x = 1
Now you can take that x value and plug it into the original equation to find it's y coordinate:
y = 12 - 2(1) - 5
y = 1 - 2 - 5
y = -6
So the vertex of this parabola occurs at the point (1, -6).

What is the vertex of the parabola y-2x2-4x 4?
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)
