Hint: the x-coordinate of the vertex of a parabola y = ax^2 + bx + c is -b/2a.
F(x) = -x^2/7 - 2x/11 + 1/121,
h = -b/2a = (2/11) / (-2/7) = -7/11.
k = -(-7/11)^2/7 -2(-7/11)/11 + 1/121,
k = -(49/121*1/7 + 14/11/11 + 1/121,
k = -7/121 +14/121 + 1/121 = 8/121.
V(h,k) = V(-7/11,8/121).
h = -b/2a = (2/11) / (-2/7) = -7/11.
k = -(-7/11)^2/7 -2(-7/11)/11 + 1/121,
k = -(49/121*1/7 + 14/11/11 + 1/121,
k = -7/121 +14/121 + 1/121 = 8/121.
V(h,k) = V(-7/11,8/121).
