Which, min or max?

You first learn about , which has a minimum. If change sign to , then this has a maximum. Now you know.

Vertex? F(x) is not factorable, so find vertex in either of two ways. General solution, or complete the square.

The maximum is the vertex which you read directly from this standard form expression. Point (-1,-5).
