    the vertex is your turning point . .

    express this quadratic in vertex form then determine the vertex . .that is

    y=-5t^2+4x+12 <---- y = a(x-h)^2 + k, where vertex at (h, k)

    y = (5x^2 + 4x) + 12

    y = 5(x^2 + 4/5*x) + 12

    y = 5 (x^2 + 4/5*x + 4/25) + 12 - 4/5

    y = 5 (x + 2/5)^2 + (60 - 4)/5

    y = 5 (x + 2/5)^2 + 56/5

    hence, vertex or turning point is

    V (-2/5, 56/5) or in decimal form we have . ..

    V (-0.4, 11.2)
