Derivate is an option

y = x 2 4030 x + 4062240 y=x^2-4030x+4062240 y = 0 2 x 4030 = 0 x = 2015 y'=0\Rightarrow 2x-4030=0\\\Rightarrow x=2015

Now substitute x = 2015 x=2015 y = 201 5 2 ( 4030 × 2015 ) + 4062240 = O d d E v e n + E v e n = O d d y=2015^2-(4030×2015)+4062240\\=Odd-Even+Even\\=Odd

So out of given choices, ( 2015 , 2015 ) (2015,2015) satisfies.

vertex of the parabola is the vertex of the equation: h = -b/2a ; k =( 4ac-b^2)/4a from the G.E. ax^2 + bx + c = 0

b ÷ 2 a -b\div 2a gives the x coordinate of the vertex. The y coordinate of the vertex is just f( b ÷ 2 a -b\div 2a )

The vertex of a quadratic equation is ( b 2 a , f ( b 2 a ) ) (\frac{-b}{2a},f(\frac{-b}{2a}))

did it the same way

y = x 2 4030 x + 4062240 \quad y = x^2 -4030x +4062240

y = x 2 4030 x + 4060225 + 2015 \quad \Rightarrow y = x^2 -4030x + 4060225 + 2015

y = x 2 2 ( 2015 ) x + 201 5 2 + 2015 \quad \Rightarrow y = x^2 -2(2015)x + 2015^2 + 2015

y = ( x 2015 ) 2 + 2015 \quad \Rightarrow y = (x-2015)^2 + 2015

Now the vertex here is the lowest point of the equation and that happens when x 2015 ) 2 x-2015)^2 which is 0 \ge 0 is equal to 0 0 or when x = 2015 x = 2015 and when x = 2015 y = 2015 x=2015\quad \Rightarrow y = 2015 . Therefore, the vertex is ( 2015 , 2015 ) (2015,2015) .

The vertex of the quadratic equation is ( b 2 a \frac{-b}{2a} , D 4 a \frac{-D}{4a} ). here,

a=1.

b=-4030.

c=4062240.

D= b 2 4 a c { b }^{ 2 }-4ac =4030^2-4 x 1 x 4062240=-8060.(determinant)

Thus, vertex= ( 4030 2 \frac{4030}{2} , 8060 4 \frac{8060}{4} )=(2015,2015)
