What is the VERTEX of the quadratic y = 2 (x + 4)² + 1
A(4,1)
B(-4,1)
Please explain if you know

The vertex is ( -4,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a parabola can be written as

y = a( x-h)^2 +k  where ( h,k) is the vertex

y = 2 (x + 4)² + 1

Rewriting

y = 2 (x -  -4)² + 1

The vertex is ( -4,1)

the vertex is located at (-4, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex equation of a vertical parabola is

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

where (h, k) is the vertex.  

Comparing this to the given

y = 2(x + 4)² + 1, we see that the vertex is located at (-4, 1) and that the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of 2.
