What does the maximum represent and what is it?

lifewmylilweeb:

this is the graph

lifewmylilweeb:

and the equation was f(x)=-32x^2+64x+40

lifewmylilweeb:

@timmyspu

axie:

He should be able to help you, he will be here as soon as he can <3

lifewmylilweeb:

ok

Astrid1:

I think what it is trying to say does it equal the full potential of ax^2+bx+c

lifewmylilweeb:

huh?

lifewmylilweeb:

@mhanifa

lifewmylilweeb:

i think the maximum is 72

lifewmylilweeb:

but what does the maximum represent

mhanifa:

The maximum of the quadratic equation is its vertex if the leading coefficient is negative

lifewmylilweeb:

so is that what the maximum represents?

mhanifa:

In this context yes. But what is the full question? What are you looking for with this graph?

lifewmylilweeb:

The full question is what does the maximum represent and what is it

mhanifa:

With the attached graph, the maximum is the greatest point of the function or the graph. And this point is the vertex.

lifewmylilweeb:

what does the y-intercept represent?

lifewmylilweeb:

and then what does the x-intercepts represent

mhanifa:

In general it is the point of intersection of the graph with the y-axis

mhanifa:

This is the point at which x = 0

mhanifa:

The x-intercept(s) is the point(s) of intersection of the graph with the x-axis. This is when y = 0
