To determine the location of the vertex, we'll have to
calculate the coordinates of the vertex of the
parable.
We'll apply the
formula:
V (-b/2a ;
-delta/4a)
We'll identify the coordinates a,b,c, from the
expression of the function:
a = 3 , b = -4 , c =
2
Now, we'll calculate the
coordinate xV:
xV = 4/6
We'll
divide by 2:
xV =
2/3
We'll calculate the coordinate
yV:
yV = -delta/4a
delta = b^2
- 4ac
yV = (4ac-b^2)/4a
yV =
(24-16)/12
yV = 8/12
We'll
divide by 4:
yV =
2/3
Since both coordinates are positive, the
vertex V(2/3 , 2/3) is located in the first
quadrant.
Furthermore, the coordinates of the vertex are
equal, V(2/3 , 2/3), so they are located on the bisecting line of the first
quadrant.
