Answer:
False
Explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
f(x) = - 7(x + 8)² + 3 ← is in vertex form
with (h, k) = (- 8, 3 )
• If a > 0 then vertex is a minimum
• If a < 0 then vertex is a maximum
Here a = - 7 < 0 , thus
(- 8, 3 ) is a maximum
