What is the vertex of the parabola represented by the equation $$y = a(x - h)^2 + k$$ ?

The vertex is the point (h, k) where the parabola reaches its maximum or minimum value.

Which of the following is in vertex form: $$f(x) = x^2 + 6x - 2$$ or $$f(x) = (x - 1)^2 + 2$$ ?

$$f(x) = (x - 1)^2 + 2$$ is in vertex form.
