Answer

$(-.65, -5.26)$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=7.6x^2+9.8x-2.1$ The highest (or lowest) point on a graph is found using the vertex of a graph. The vertex of the graph has the equation $x=-b/2a$. $a=7.6$, $b=9.8$, $c=-2.1$ $x=-b/2a$ $x=-9.8/2*7.6$ $x=-9.8/15.2$ $x=-.6447$ $f(x)=7.6x^2+9.8x-2.1$ $f(-.6447)=7.6(-.6447)^2+9.8(-.6447)-2.1$ $f(-.6447)=7.6*.4156-6.318-2.1$ $f(-.6447)=3.15856-8.418$ $f(-.6447)=-5.259$
