From the roots ( intercepts), you can write the equation of the parabola as: When (this is the intercept), , so . So Set for the vertex (turning point) to find . (From what you wrote, I assume you know how to find the coordinate of the vertex or turning point, but just for completeness, it is the arithmetic mean (average) of the two real roots, so here it is simply ).
