I don't know what your question is, so I'll make one up.Where is the vertex of this quadratic equation?y = -x^2 + 4x - 1Factor out a negative 1y = -1(x^2 - 4x + 1)Complete the squarey = -1(x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 + 1)y = -1((x^2 - 4x + 4) - 4 + 1)y = -1((x - 2)^2 - 3)Distributey = -1(x - 2)^2 + 3The vertex of the parabola is at (2,3)

Are you trying to graph this function?  I'm not sure what you want to do here.  Here is some information about quadratic functions. mathland
