You want to look at the degree of the polynomial to find the turning point

they want me to find the turning point of the graph.

anonymous · Answer

they want to know what the turning point is

anonymous · Answer

Yup that is what they want to know do u know the formula for this equation

This question is asking at what point the graph goes from decreasing to increasing. I think the easiest way to do this is to look at the graph of it, which looks like this

|dw:1424058900277:dw|

So you just have to look at the point on the graph where the vertex is, where things start to change.

Another way is to find the point where vertex is.
The x coordinate of the vertex is the opposite of what's inside of the absolute value bars, in this case a 2. So the x coordinate is -2.
The y coordinate is the part that's outside of the absolute bars, in this case -3.
So the coordinates for the turning point is (-2,-3) which you can see in the graph also.
