y=-2(x-1/2)^2+5/2,(1/2,5/2),-58

Explanation:

"the equation of a parabola in "color(blue)"vertex form" is.

color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=a(x-h)^2+k)color(white)(2/2)|)))
where (h , k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier.

"to obtain this use the method of "color(blue)"completing the square"

• " ensure the coefficient of "x^2" term is 1"

rArry=-2(x^2-x-1)

• " add/subtract "(1/2"coefficient of x-term")^2" to "x^2-x

y=-2(x^2+2(-1/2)xcolor(red)(+1/4)color(red)(-1/4)-1)

color(white)(y)=-2(x-1/2)^2+5/2larrcolor(red)" in vertex form"

rArrcolor(magenta)"vertex"=(1/2,5/2)

"when "x=6

y=-2(6-1/2)^2+5/2=-121/2+5/2=-58
