Question 1001369: Determine, without graphing, whether the given quadratic function has a maximum value or a minimum value and then find that value.
f(x) = -x2 - 2x + 2 Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The coefficient on the leading term is negative, so makes the parabola convex upward, concave downward, meaning vertex is a maximum.
Complete the Square and transform into standard form, and then directly read the vertex coordinates from the standard form equation.
