Math Problem Statement
What is the vertex of this quadratic?
Solution
The image shows the graph of a quadratic function. From the graph, the vertex is the highest point on the parabola, as it opens downwards.
Looking closely:
- The x-coordinate of the vertex is around 4, as it is at the midpoint of the parabola's horizontal spread.
- The y-coordinate of the vertex is around 4 as well, as the vertex appears at this height.
Thus, the vertex of this quadratic is approximately (4, 4).
