Finding the Vertex of a Parabola

Consider the equation of a parabola given by the function f(x) = 2x^2 - 4x + 1. To find the vertex of this parabola, you can use the formula for the x-coordinate of the vertex, which is given by x = -\f\frac{b}{2a}, where a and b are the coefficients from the standard form of the quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c. Calculate the x-coordinate of the vertex and then determine the corresponding y-coordinate by substituting this value into the function. What is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola?
