HELP ASAP....NO TROOLING PLS

find the vertex of this function and decide if it is a maximum point or minimum point.


A. maximum point at (3,-4)


B. minimum point at (-4,3)


C. maximum point at (-4,3)


D. minimum point at (3,-4)

Answer 1

Vertex is well shown on the graph

It's at

• (3,-4)

Look at the parabola

• As x coordinate of vertex is positive then -b/2a is also +ve
• Parabola is opening upwards.
• The vertex is minimum them

Option D

Answer 2

Answer:
D. Min (3, -4)
Explanation:
This curve is a parabola, the graph of a quadratic function. It has a kind of u-ish, v-ish shape. Right there at the bottom, where the curve appears to be making a u-turn, is the vertex. That point is at (3,-4).
Also, it is a low point of the curve, which makes it a minimum of this upward opening parabola. Sometimes this curve can be flipped upside down, in which case it would have maximum.
But this one has a minimum at (3,-4)
