In the given equation \( y = 4(x - 25)^2 - 61 \), we can identify the vertex by recognizing that it is in the vertex form of a quadratic equation, which is \( y = a(x - h)^2 + k \), where \((h, k)\) represents the vertex.
From the equation:
- \( h = 25 \)
- \( k = -61 \)
Thus, the vertex is \((25, -61)\).
The correct response is \((25, -61)\).
