    By the method : Completing the square

    x²-4x+1=0

    x²-4x+1-1=-1

    x²-4x = - 1

    x²-4x+4 = - 1+4

    (x-2) ² = 3

    (x-2) ²-3=0

    x (vertex)

    x-2=0

    x=2

    y (vertex) = - 3

    S = (2, - 3)

    So to find the x vertex u have to apply the formula x = - b/2a so it will be

    x = - (-4) / 2 (1)

    x = 4/2

    x = 2

    and to find the y vertex u just substitute the x value into the original equation so it will be

    y = (2) ^2-4 (2) + 1

    y = 4-8+1

    y = - 3

    so the coordinates of the vertex are (2,-3)
