The vertex of a parabola occurs where the derivative of its equation is 0, so an equation associated with the equation of a parabola can be solved to find the x-coordinate of the vertex. Find the vertex of the parabola, given the equation of the parabola and its associated equation.Equation of parabola: f(x) = -(7 + 8x + 3x2); associated equation: 0 = -8 - 6x
