How do I find the minimum turning point of a parabola?
1.differentiate the equation using the rule: y=xn , dy/dx= nxn-12.set dy/dx to =0 as this is where a minimum point occurs (where the gradient of the graph is = 0)3.solve for x4.then, to find the y coordinate, simply sub your found value of x back into the original equation
