What is the vertex of #y= 3x^2 + 9x − 4 #? Algebra Quadratic Equations and Functions Quadratic Functions and Their Graphs 1 Answer Nghi N. Mar 9, 2016 #Vertex (-3/2, -43/4)# Explanation: x-coordinate of vertex: #x = -b/(2a) = -9/6 = - 3/2# y-coordinate of vertex: #y(-2/3) = 3(9/4) - 9(3/2) - 4 = 27/4 - 27/2 - 4 = # #= - 27/4 - 4 = - 43/4# #Vertex (-3/2, -43/4)# Answer link Related questions What are the important features of the graphs of quadratic functions?
