We'll recall what are the coordinates of the vertex of the
parabola:
V(-b/2a ;
-delta/4a)
a,b,c are the coefficients of the
quadratic:
y = ax^2 + bx +
c
Comparing, we'll identify the
coefficients:
a = 1, b = -6 , c =
0
We'll calculate the x coordinate of the
vertex:
xV = -b/2a
xV =
-(-6)/2
xV = 3
We'll calculate
the y coordinate of the vertex:
yV =
-delta/4a
delta = b^2 -
4ac
delta = 36 - 4*1*0
delta =
36
yV = -36/4
yV =
-9
The requested coordinates of the vertex of
the given parabola are: V(3 , -9).
