1. The problem is to find the vertex of each quadratic function given.
2. The vertex form of a quadratic function is $$y = a(x-h)^2 + k$$ where $(h,k)$ is the vertex.
3. For functions in the form $$y = ax^2 + bx + c$$, the vertex $x$-coordinate is given by $$h = -\frac{b}{2a}$$ and the $y$-coordinate is $$k = y(h)$$.
4. Since all given functions have $b=0$, the vertex $x$-coordinate is always $$h = -\frac{0}{2a} = 0$$.
5. Now, find the $y$-coordinate by substituting $x=0$ into each function:
(1) $$y = x^2$$
$$y(0) = 0^2 = 0$$
Vertex: $(0,0)$ (correcting the given vertex)
(2) $$y = x^2 + 1$$
$$y(0) = 0^2 + 1 = 1$$
Vertex: $(0,1)$
(3) $$y = x^2 + 3$$
$$y(0) = 0^2 + 3 = 3$$
Vertex: $(0,3)$
(4) $$y = 3x^2$$
$$y(0) = 3 \times 0^2 = 0$$
Vertex: $(0,0)$
(5) $$y = 3x^2 - 1$$
$$y(0) = 3 \times 0^2 - 1 = -1$$
Vertex: $(0,-1)$
(6) $$y = 3x^2 + 2$$
$$y(0) = 3 \times 0^2 + 2 = 2$$
Vertex: $(0,2)$
(7) $$y = -x^2 + 3$$
$$y(0) = -0^2 + 3 = 3$$
Vertex: $(0,3)$
(8) $$y = -3x^2 - 5$$
$$y(0) = -3 \times 0^2 - 5 = -5$$
Vertex: $(0,-5)$
Final answers:
(1) $(0,0)$
(2) $(0,1)$
(3) $(0,3)$
(4) $(0,0)$
(5) $(0,-1)$
(6) $(0,2)$
(7) $(0,3)$
(8) $(0,-5)$
