Question

The functions f(x) = –(x − 1)2 + 5 and g(x) = (x + 2)2 − 3 have been rewritten using the completing-the-square method. Is the vertex for each function a minimum or a maximum?

Answer 1

cpuld you help me @lochana

Answer 2

if there's a negative sign in front of the (x)^2 part, then vertex is a maximum

if there's no negative sign, then the vertex is a minimum

Answer 3

But it is different on both equations so which would it be

Answer 4

so it would be a maximum because it was rewritten without the negative sign

Answer 5

?

Answer 6

???

f(x) has a negatiive sign in front, so its a maximum

g(x) has no negative sign in front, so it's a minimum

Answer 7

there are two different functions
