To graph the quadratic y=4x^2+3x−8, we can first find the x-coordinate of the vertex using the formula x = -b/2a.
In this case, a=4 and b=3. Plug these values into the formula:
x = -3 / 2*4 = -3 / 8 = -0.375
So, the x-coordinate of the vertex is -0.375.
To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, plug this x-value back into the equation:
y = 4(-0.375)^2 + 3(-0.375) - 8
y = 4(0.140625) - 1.125 - 8
y = 0.5625 - 1.125 - 8
y = -8.5625
Therefore, the vertex of the quadratic y=4x^2+3x−8 is (-0.375, -8.563).
Answer: (−0.375,−8.563)
