The given statement is true.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

The y-coordinate of the vertex of f(x)=-x2+4x+5 is f(2).

Step 2. Determine whether the given statement is true or false. 

The vertex of f(x)=ax2+bx+c is -b2a,f-b2a.

In the given function f(x)=-x2+4x+5,a=-1,b=4,c=5.

-b2a=-42-1=-4-2=2

The y-coordinate of the vertex of the given function is role="math" localid="1645862681108" f(2).

Step 3. Conclusion.

The given statement is true.
