Answer :

The vertex of the parabola is = (4, 2)

What is Vertex?

A vertex, which is a unique point on a mathematical object, is typically where two or more lines or edges come together. The shapes that contain vertices most frequently are graphs, polygons, polyhedra, and angles. Vertices in a graph are also called nodes.

Given,

y = 2x² - 16x +34

can be made simpler by subtracting 2 from each of the three terms on the right side.

y = 2( x² - 8x + 17)

Here, we must "close the square."

We square this value by taking the half of the coefficient of x, which is -4. (which yields 16).

Focusing on x² - 8x + 17, we add 16, and then subtract 16, obtaining:

= x² - 8x + 16 - 16 + 17, or (x - 4)² + 1

Now return to the original function

y = 2(x² - 8x + 17).

Replace  x² - 8x + 17  with  [x - 4]² + 1

We get ,y = 2(x² - 8x + 17)

= 2( [x - 4]² + 1  )

By contrast, we can see that h = 4 and k = 2 in this equation, which has the form y = a(x - h)2 + k. This parabola's vertex is located at (4, 2).
