Question 443774: find the vertex, the line of symmetry, the maximum or minimum value of the quadratic function, and graph the function f(x)=2x^2-16x+37
choose correct line of symmetry?
a. y=-5
b. x=-4
c. y=5
d. x=4
the maximum/minimum of f(x) is?
Is the value, f(4)=5 minimum or a maximum? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The maximum or minimum of a quadratic function is the value of the funcition at the -coordinate of the vertex. The -coordinate of the vertex is found by:
And then the value of the funcition at the vertex is the function evaluated at
If the lead coefficient, , is positive, then the graph opens upward and the value of the function at the vertex is a minimum. If the lead coefficient is negative, then the graph opens downward and the value of the function at the vertex is a maximum.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
