Okay, so with this function, where we have negative 4x squared plus 8x plus 5, the formula i would use to find the vertex is x equals negative b over 2a.
00:15
So in this problem, the b value is 8, so negative 8, and the a value is negative 4.
00:23
And it just follows from, maybe i'll just write that out, it's ax squared plus bx plus c.
00:31
So now what we have is negative 8 divided by negative 8, which is positive 1.
00:37
But now you have to figure out what f of 1 is.
00:40
So i'm plugging 1 in for all of those x's, which is actually really nice, because you just get negative 4 plus 8 is 4, plus 5 gives me 9.
00:51
So your first answer should be the ordered pair 1, 9...
