The equation is
.


(Take out common factor)
\
(Apply zero product property: If ab = 0 then a = 0 or b = 0)
\
(Subtract 4 from each side)
\

(Add 7 to each side)
\

The solution set is
.
(Apply axis of symmetry formula:
)
Substitute values (a = 1, and
)



Now we can find y-value, the x-coordinate of the vertex is
.
Substitute
in the equation of
.




Draw a coordinate plane.
\Draw the equation
