Answer:
vertex = (- 7, - 87)
Step-by-step explanation:
given a parabola in standard form : ax² + bx + c : a ≠ 0
Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is
[tex]x_{vertex}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]
p² + 14p - 38 is in standard form
with a = 1, b = 14, c = - 38, hence
[tex]x_{vertex }[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{14}{2}[/tex] = -7
substitute x = - 7 into the equation for corresponding value of y
y = (- 7)² + 14(- 7) - 38 = 49 - 98 - 38 - - 87
vertex = (- 7, - 87)
