Question

Can someone please help me with this quadratic question?

Answer 1

Turning point of quadratic equation occurs when the value of f(x) is either maximum or minimum

Answer 2

Differentiate the function and equal it to zero..then, you will get a value for x. Substitute the value of x in the equation to get y..it is (b,c)

Answer 3

so it's just (b,c) not (b/a, c/a)?

Answer 4

Is this from a calculus class?

Answer 5

Yes, (b,c)

Answer 6

No this is just some tutor work (:
@zzr0ck3r

Answer 7

for calculus or algebra?

Answer 8

you do not need calculus to solve this... use the vertex of the parabola

Answer 9

Im not really sure of what calculus is.....@zzr0ck3r

Answer 10

how did you come up with the answer then?

Answer 11

calculus uses differentiation or integration

Answer 12

i think it is calculus

Answer 13

y=(x-h)^2+ k
TP is always (h, k)

Answer 14

I never had found such problems in algebra unless it is specially mentioned in CURVES

Answer 15

well the formula for the vertex(non calculus) is -b/(2a) where a,b, and c are the coefficients on the 1st,2nd, and third terms respectivly

Answer 16

im confused :(

Answer 17

if you foil that out it will look like some form of ax^2+bx+c the vertex(min or max) of the porabola is -b/(2a)

Answer 18

this will give the independent variable(x).

Answer 19

yes, that's derived from differentiation itself..Come on lets not confuse @Genuine
If you are comfortable in memorizing that TP occurs at x = -b/2a, use it or if you are comfortable to find it through differentiation, go for it..

Answer 20

Its your problem and its your call

Answer 21

Answer 22

Well thanks....I guess? @AbhimanyuPudi

Answer 23

I took that comment in this way:
I do not know how to classify calculus from other math.

Answer 24

And its derived, in 8th grade by completing the square...no need for calculus

Answer 25

Yeah thats what I meant

Answer 26

I have never met anyone that can differentiate, or know what a limit is for that matter that does not know they are doing calculus.....

Answer 27

Alright, then you are right @zzr0ck3r

Answer 28

except newton, and I didnt know him:)

Answer 29

I am not exactly sure what I am right about, but great!

Answer 30

Which grade or college level are you studying? @zzr0ck3r

Answer 31

Im taking analysis and group theory right now, why?

Answer 32

Nothing in particular..just wanna know it

Answer 33

The form he gave in the question is very common for an algebra class, you would not really discuss a min or max in that form in calculus because that form is one that you can tell the min/max just by looking at it. I tudor at my school and this form is often from a math 95 class...I was not in any way saying your wrong.

Answer 34

Yes, I can understand it..I am a high-school graduate. So, I naturally tend towards calculus while doing max or min points...

Answer 35

find the first derivative then make it equal to zero ....
u get x = something then put that x in the equation to get the ordinate....
