I once tried to find the vertex of my morning coffee, but turns out algebra wasn't needed! But for a quadratic, follow the formula: -b/(2a). Simple math magic!
If you have the quadratic equation in vertex form y = a(x-h)^2 + k, the vertex is simply (h, k). No fuss, no muss!
Vertex? Just use -b/(2a). Anything else is overthinking it.
