This time, I want to CHECK my answer with you smart people.

## PROBLEM:

Consider the parabola $$y=-5x^2+17x-12$$ . What is the vertex of this parabola?
Enter your answer as a coordinate pair, that is, as $$(x,y)$$ where $$x$$ and $$y$$ are replaced by numbers.

## $$My\ Work:$$

$$Axis\ of\ symetry\ (x\ value) \\=\frac{-b}{2a} \\=\frac{-17}{-10} \\=\frac{17}{10} \\=1.7$$

$$Plugging\ it\ in\ (y\ value) \\-5(1.7)^2+17(1.7)-12 \\-5(2.89)+17(1.7)-12 \\-14.45+28.9-12 \\-14.45+16.9 \\+2.45$$

$$Answer: \\(1.7,2.45)$$

Therefore, I think that the answer is (1.7,2.45)

EDIT:
If I did somehow get it right, post an emoji (or something) please in the answer section...
If I got it wrong ( probably ) just say I got it wrong, why, and how I should do it next time.

You're exactly right!! 👍 🤪  🙌

And you can always check your answer to these type of questions with a graphing calculator such as desmos.

To save on desmos you have to creat an acount and creat the graph and click the green save button or you can go to the guid and select from there along with going back to the saved graphs
