Choose all of the following equations that have a vertex that is the maximum point of the parabola. More than one answer may be chosen. y = −4x2 + 8x − 19 y = −x2 − 7x + 1 y = 8x2 − 6x + 128 y = 3x2 + 9x − 4

I need help

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

look at leading coeffecient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

whats the leading coeffecient in first option ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u just give me the answers please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:(

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

il give if u try to understand wat im trying to say :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok?

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

look at first option :- y = −4x2 + 8x − 19 ^ leading coefficient = -4 its NEGATIVE, so it will have vertex at MAXIMUM point

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

what other optoins you have leading coefficient as negative number ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Snewton, look at the picture I posted.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats not giving me the answers

OpenStudy (compassionate):

If you give out answers or I see you getting answers(because you begged) you will get a warning. If the behavior continues then you will be suspended. We do not give out answers. We guide you to them. Now, we know that the A term must be negative in order for it to open down and have a maximum point. So we can eliminate any positive A-terms, which is C and D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answers r C and D

OpenStudy (compassionate):

No. The answers it 50/50 between A and B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answers are a nd b?

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Yes. ONE of those because in order for it to be a maximum it must be negative. We just told you this, 3 times, hun. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answers for the problem are A and B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1374085286737:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A and B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello

OpenStudy (compassionate):

A OR B is your answer.
