Full solution

Q. Find the vertex. \newlineF(x)=12x2+21F(x) = -\frac{1}{2}x^2 +2 -1
  1. Combine constant terms: The function F(x)=12x2+21F(x) = -\frac{1}{2}x^2 + 2 - 1 is given. The first step is to combine like terms, which in this case are the constant terms 22 and 1-1.\newlineCalculation: 21=12 - 1 = 1
  2. Simplify function: After combining the constants, the simplified function is F(x)=12x2+1F(x) = -\frac{1}{2}x^2 + 1. There are no further like terms to combine, and the x2x^2 term is already in its simplest form.
