Problem 25

For the parabola whose equation is \(y=a x^{2}+b x+c,\) the equation of the axis of symmetry is \(x=\frac{-b}{2 a}\) . The turning point of the parabola lies on the axis of symmetry. Therefore its \(x\) -coordinate is \(\frac{-b}{2 a}\) . Substitute this value of \(x\) in the equation of the parabola to find the \(y\) -coordinates of the turning point. Write the coordinates of the turning point in terms of \(a, b,\) and \(c .\)
