Question 765449: determine whether the given quadratic function has a minimum or maximum value. then find the coordinates of the minimum or maximum point. x^2+2x-9
If the lead coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upward and the vertex is a minimum, otherwise the parabola opens downward and the vertex is a maximum.
The -coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic polynomial function is found using the formula . The -coordinate of the vertex, and either the minimum or maximum value of the function depending on which way the parabola opens, is the value of the function at . Which is to say:
The only thing left for you to do is some arithmetic.
