Answer:

  • D. The equation has a maximum value with a y coordinate of -21​

Explanation:

The quadratic equation has the extreme value at vertex with x-coordinate of

  • x = -b/2a

For the given equation the vertex is:

  • x = -12/2(-3) = 2

The value of y at x = 2 is:

  • y = -3(2²) + 12(2) - 33 = -12 + 24 - 33 = -21

Since the leading coefficient is negative, the extreme is the maximum for the given equation.

Correct choice is D
