Answer:
vertex = (2, 64 )
Step-by-step explanation:
given a parabola in standard form
f(x) = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 ) , then the x- coordinate of the vertex is
x = - [tex]\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]
f(x) = - 16x² + 64x ← is in standard form
with a = - 16, b = 64, c = 0 , then
x = - [tex]\frac{64}{-32}[/tex] = 2
substitute x = 2 into f(x) for corresponding y- coordinate
f(2) = - 16(2)² + 64(2) = - 16(4) + 128 = - 64 + 128 = 64
vertex = (2, 64 )
