Question 1130472: Given the function f(x) = 3x^2 + 24x- 2, find the following:
(a) find the vertex of the graph of f(x)
(b) find the x-intercepts
(c) find the maximum value obtained by f(x)
(d) find the minimum value obtained by f(x)

Maximum value, no.
Minimum value, yes.
Notice term tells you something.

Completing the Square using 16:




Vertex is a minimum, at (4, -50).
