For each function, state the vertex and whether the function has a maximum or minimum value. Explain how you decided? f(x) = -(x + 1)^2 + 6

Answer:

maximum value at (- 1, 6 )

Explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

• If a > 0 then minimum value

• If a < 0 then maximum value

y = - (x + 1)² + 6

with (h, k) = (- 1, 6 ) and a = - 1

Thus vertex = (- 1, 6 ) and is a maximum
