Question 813086: without graphing, find the vertex and the maximum or minimum value of f(x).
f(x)=-5/7(x-7)^2+6

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x)= (-5/7)(x - 7)^2 + 6
f(x)= (-5/7)(x - 7)(x - 7) + 6
f(x)= (-5/7)(x^2 - 14x + 49) + 6
f(x)= (-5/7)x^2 + 10x - 35 + 6
f(x)= (-5/7)x^2 + 10x - 29

the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=-5/7=-0.7142857, b=10, and c=-29
---
to solve the quadratic equation, plug this:
-0.7142857 10 -29
