okay well you could find the derivative and then set that equal to zero
OpenStudy (carolinar7):
How do I do that

okay so what you want to find is the vertex and that's different
to find the vertex its easier if you set your equation to vertex form

And how does the vertex for look like appliying the values that I gave u
