Answer 6

Post the equation if you can.

Answer 7

Find the vertex of the parabola by writing in Vertex Form. State whether the vertex is a max or a min.
f(x) = -3x2 - 6x - 7

Answer 8

Do you know how to convert to vertex form?

Answer 9

not really

Answer 10

im not sure if my answer is right .. ..

Answer 11

First move that -7 to the other side. So add 7 to both sides

f(x) = -3x^2 - 6x - 7

f(x)+7 = -3x^2 - 6x


Then factor out -3 from the right side to get


f(x)+7 = -3(x^2 +2x)

Answer 12

Now take half of the x coefficient and square it. What do you get?

Answer 13

-1,-4 maximum

Answer 14

you got it, so it looks like you know what you're doing then
