Here are the coordinates of the turning points for each function:

Part a· 2 steps

y=x2+x+cy = x^2 + x + c

  1. Find the x-coordinate of the turning point using the formula x=−b2ax = -\frac{b}{2a}.

    For y=x2+x+cy = x^2 + x + c, we have a=1a=1, b=1b=1.

    x=−12(1)=−12x = -\frac{1}{2(1)} = -\frac{1}{2}
  2. Substitute the x-coordinate back into the original equation to find the y-coordinate.

    y=(−12)2+(−12)+cy = \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) + c y=14−12+cy = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2} + c y=14−24+cy = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{2}{4} + c y=−14+cy = -\frac{1}{4} + c

    The turning point is (−12,c−14)\boxed{\left(-\frac{1}{2}, c - \frac{1}{4}\right)}.

Part b

(23,113)\left(\frac{2}{3}, \frac{11}{3}\right)

y=3x2−4x+5y = 3x^2 - 4x + 5

  1. Find the x-coordinate of the turning point using the formula x=−b2ax = -\frac{b}{2a}.

    For y=3x2−4x+5y = 3x^2 - 4x + 5, we have a=3a=3, b=−4b=-4.

    x=−(−4)2(3)=46=23x = -\frac{(-4)}{2(3)} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}
  2. Substitute the x-coordinate back into the original equation to find the y-coordinate.

    y=3(23)2−4(23)+5y = 3\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 - 4\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) + 5 y=3(49)−83+5y = 3\left(\frac{4}{9}\right) - \frac{8}{3} + 5 y=129−83+5y = \frac{12}{9} - \frac{8}{3} + 5 y=43−83+153y = \frac{4}{3} - \frac{8}{3} + \frac{15}{3} y=4−8+153y = \frac{4 - 8 + 15}{3} y=113y = \frac{11}{3}

    The turning point is (23,113)\boxed{\left(\frac{2}{3}, \frac{11}{3}\right)}.
