Find the Vertex 64t-16t^2

$64 t - 16 t^{2}$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation in terms of $x$ and $y$ .

$y = 64 x - 16 x^{2}$

Step 2

Rewrite the equation in vertex form.

Reorder $64 x$ and $- 16 x^{2}$ .

$y = - 16 x^{2} + 64 x$

Complete the square for $- 16 x^{2} + 64 x$ .

Use the form $a x^{2} + b x + c$ , to find the values of $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ .

$a = - 16$

$b = 64$

$c = 0$

Consider the vertex form of a parabola.

$a {(x + d)}^{2} + e$

Find the value of $d$ using the formula $d = \frac{b}{2 a}$ .

Substitute the values of $a$ and $b$ into the formula $d = \frac{b}{2 a}$ .

$d = \frac{64}{2 \cdot - 16}$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $64$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $64$ .

$d = \frac{2 \cdot 32}{2 \cdot - 16}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot - 16$ .

$d = \frac{2 \cdot 32}{2 (- 16)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$d = \frac{2 \cdot 32}{2 \cdot - 16}$

Rewrite the expression.

$d = \frac{32}{- 16}$

Cancel the common factor of $32$ and $- 16$ .

Factor $16$ out of $32$ .

$d = \frac{16 (2)}{- 16}$

Move the negative one from the denominator of $\frac{2}{- 1}$ .

$d = - 1 \cdot 2$

Multiply $- 1$ by $2$ .

$d = - 2$

Find the value of $e$ using the formula $e = c - \frac{b^{2}}{4 a}$ .

Substitute the values of $c$ , $b$ and $a$ into the formula $e = c - \frac{b^{2}}{4 a}$ .

$e = 0 - \frac{64^{2}}{4 \cdot - 16}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Raise $64$ to the power of $2$ .

$e = 0 - \frac{4096}{4 \cdot - 16}$

Multiply $4$ by $- 16$ .

$e = 0 - \frac{4096}{- 64}$

Divide $4096$ by $- 64$ .

$e = 0 - - 64$

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 64$ .

$e = 0 + 64$

Add $0$ and $64$ .

$e = 64$

Substitute the values of $a$ , $d$ , and $e$ into the vertex form $- 16 {(x - 2)}^{2} + 64$ .

$- 16 {(x - 2)}^{2} + 64$

Set $y$ equal to the new right side.

$y = - 16 {(x - 2)}^{2} + 64$

Step 3

Use the vertex form, $y = a {(x - h)}^{2} + k$ , to determine the values of $a$ , $h$ , and $k$ .

$a = - 16$

$h = 2$

$k = 64$

Step 4

Find the vertex $(h, k)$ .

$(2, 64)$
