Question 42350: How do I figure this out?!?! "Determine without graphing, whether the quadratic function f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 6 has a minimum value or maximum value. Then find the coordinates of the minimum or maximum point."
Answer by Nate(3500) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 6
vertex: ((-b/2a),f(x)) so (1,-7) and the parabola opens up because:
Minimum value: y=-7
