When I was learning parabola stuff, I remember that using the equation ax^2+bx+c=0 you could find the vertex of the equation, by plugging in some numbers? 

I forgot the formula, so if anyone knows, please inform me :)

 

Thanks

The vertex is a point where the extremum of a parabola lies. The extrema can either be the maximum or the minimum depending on the parabola. 

 

For a parabola defined as f(x)=ax2+bx+c, the point of the vertex lies at (b2a,f(b2a)).
