Does this scenario have a max or a min?

• Max

• Min

What is the equation for the axis of symmetry?

• x = b / 2

• x = 2a / -b

• x = 2 / b

• x = -b / 2a

How do I find the y-value of the vertex?

• factor

• x = -b / 2a gives you the y-value of the vertex

• find x = -b / 2a and then plug in for x and solve for y.

• find -b / 2a and then plug in for y and solve for x.
