Determine the vertex of the function f(x) = 3x2 – 6x + 13.

1. Identify the values of a and b.

a =
and b =

2. Find the x-coordinate of the vertex.

negative StartFraction b Over 2 a EndFraction =

3. Find the y-coordinate by evaluating the function at the x-value found in the previous step.

The vertex is

.

1.)

A=3

B=-6

2.)

1

3.)

(1,10)

1.  Identify the values of a and b.            

a =  

✔ 3

and b =

✔ –6

2.   Find the x-coordinate of the vertex.

negative StartFraction b Over 2 a EndFraction  =

✔ 1

3.  Find the y-coordinate by evaluating the function at the x-value found in the previous step.

The vertex is

✔ (1, 10)

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.
