Find the vertex of the graph of the equation x - y^2 + 8y = 13 + 4y - 8.
x – y2 + 8y = 13 + 4y – 8
x = y2 – 4y + 5
1st derivative 2y – 4
set = zero 2y – 4 = 0
2y = 4
y = 2 <— this is the y-coordinate of the vertex
substitute 2 in equation x = 22 – (4)(2) + 5
x = 4 – 8 + 5
x = 1 <— this is the x-coordinate of the vertex
Vertex is at (1, 2) parabola opening to the right
