SOLUTION: What I want to know is whether the graph of this function will have a maximum or a minimum: F(x)= -(3-x)^2 Thanks! Joanne

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the minus sign before the parentheses means that the function will have a maximum value

this minus sign will be distributed to the x^2 term, making it negative

the sign of the squared term determines the "max" or "min" of the parabola
__ negatives are max and positives are min
