\"g%28x%29=-x%5E2-3x\"
\n" ); document.write( "For any quadratic equation of the form,
\n" ); document.write( "\"f%28x%29=ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc\"
\n" ); document.write( "The axis of symmetry occurs at
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-b%2F%282a%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "If a is positive, then the mininum value occurs there.
\n" ); document.write( "If a is negative, then the maximum value occurs there.
\n" ); document.write( "Comparing your equation to the standard form,
\n" ); document.write( "a=-1
\n" ); document.write( "b=-3
\n" ); document.write( "The axis of symmetry is
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-b%2F%282a%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-%28-3%29%2F%282%2A%28-1%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-3%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Since a is negative, the value will be a maximum.
\n" ); document.write( "The maximum value is,
