What is the vertex of f(x) = 5x^2 + 20x – 16?

Answer 1

Vertex is found by -b/2a. A is 5. B is 20. C is -16.
Take -20/(2 times 5)
Which is -20/10
That is -2
-2 is the answer for x coordinate.
Plug -2 into function to get 20+(-40)+(-16)
Which is -36.
So we get (-2, -36)

Answer 2

Answer:

(-2, -36)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is written in Standard Form

$f(x)=5x^{2} +20x-16$

$ax^{2} +bx+c$

Convert to vertex form.

$f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k$

$f(x)=5(x+2)^{2}-36$
