Find the vertex, the line of symmetry, the maximum or minimum value of the quadratic fuction, and graph the function.
f(x)=3x^2-12x+16
---
Vertex occurs at x = -b/(2a) = 12/(6) = 2
f(2) = 3*2^2-12*2+16 = 12-24+16 = 4
The vertex is (2,4) (Type an ordered pair.)
The line of symmetry is x=2
-----------
A. y=4
B. x=2
C. x=-2
D. y=-4
The maximum/minimum of f(x) is (2,4).
Is the value, f(2)=4 a minimum or a maximum?
Minimum

Given



The -coordinate of the vertex is given by:



The -coordinate of the vertex is given by:



Hence the vertex is:



The line of symmetry is:



The maximum or minimum value is

If then the parabola opens upward and is a minimum. If then the parabola opens upward and is a maximum.
