Question 468293: Help!! I do not understand the text or the examples.
Find the vertex, line of symmetry, and the maximum or minimum value of f(x). Graph the function.
f(x)=-4(x+7)^2+8
f(x)=-(x+6)^2-7

Hi,
the vertex form of a parabola, where(h,k) is the vertex
f(x)= -4(x+7)^2+8 V(-7,8) a maximum, parabola opens downward a = -4 a <0
Line of symmetry is x = -7

f(x)= -(x+6)^2-7 V(-6,-7) a maximum, parabola opens downward a = -1 a <0
Line of symmetry is x = -6
