is the correct answer -1 for smaller value and 1/3 for maximum?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

working with calculus can make you forget your algebra

OpenStudy (hoblos):

3x^2 +2x-1 is a quadratic of the form ax^2 +bx+c but if a+c=b=> the solution are x=-1 and x=-c/a so the solutions for your quadratic are x=-1 and x=1/3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

(3x-1)(x+1) is the factoring if i did it in me head right
