This is the equation of a hyperbola, not a parabola. This has vertices when y = 0, ie. when

2 x^2 - 10x + 3 = 0.

Solve this quadratic, and then, if the roots are a and b, you vertices are at (a, 0) and (b, 0).

This is not the equation of a parabola.

That equation describes a hyperbola, not a parabola.

Vertex is where x = 0. Substitute 0 for all x and solve for y.
