Finding the x-coordinate of Vertex of Quadratic Function

Consider the quadratic function represented by the equation:

$$ f(x) = x^2 - 4x + 3 $$

To find the vertex of the parabola, we will use the vertex formula. The $x$-coordinate of the vertex of a quadratic in the form of $$ ax^2 + bx + c $$ is given by $$ x = -\frac{b}{2a} $$, where $a$ and $b$ are the coefficients of the quadratic function.

Determine the $x$-coordinate of the vertex for the function given above. Write your answer as a decimal.
