Question

The functions f(x) = (x + 1)2 − 2 and g(x) = –(x − 2)2 + 1 have been rewritten using the completing-the-square method. Is the vertex for each function a minimum or a maximum? Explain your reasoning for each function.

Answer 1

Answer 2

this the last thing ineed to solve before icomplete my alg 2 on flvs math can you please solve this and answer for me bro iwill love you foever ! :) ive been stressed

Answer 3

Look at \(a\). If it has a negative sign, then the vertex is the maximum of the function.

Answer 4

Now, from these two functions, which vertex is the maximum?
