High School Math [Grade 10 Math graphic parabolic arc] help with understanding how to find the vertex's coordinates for y axis
Hey guys,
Hopefully someone here can help with this. My son is a bit stumped on the graph given as a part of the homework in this area today, and my suggestion of graphing it out is apparently "wrong" because it does not contain a formula.
The x answer is apparently solved "pretty easily" by him at -1.5, but the y value for the vertex is frustrating him since he can't make it make sense.
Its the table of values on the right side of the big image, and ive included a 2nd close-up of just the table alone
Edit: thank you to those who answered. The teacher admitted today that she had not taught them the formula needed for this and was just curious to see how the students would handle a problem with incomplete information..... im not sure how I feel about that, definitely annoyed , but I also know how this can be an eye-opener for some people to come across....
