Question 910684: I am doing homework and I am dealing with non-linear functions and equations. I have a problem that asks:"Suppose that g(x) has a rule in the form g(x)=k[x(x-200)]. For some particular value of k. What value of k will guarantee that g(x)=120 at the maximum point of the graph"
I'm honestly completely confused on how to solve this.

;

, and you want this for x at the vertex of g(x).

Where is g(x) equal to zero?

or , and the vertex will be at the x value in the MIDDLE of the two roots.
Vertex is at .

Can you decide what to do next?
