vertices f(x)=-3x^2-2x+1

vertices

Maximum (- \frac{1}{3}, \frac{4}{3})

Solution steps

y = - 3 x^{2} - 2 x + 1

The parabola parameters are:

a = - 3, b = - 2, c = 1

x_{v} = - \frac{b}{2 a}

x_{v} = - \frac{( - 2 )}{2 ( - 3 )}

Simplify

- \frac{- 2}{2 ( - 3 )} : - \frac{1}{3}

x_{v} = - \frac{1}{3}

Plug in

x_{v} = - \frac{1}{3}

to find the

y_{v}

value

y_{v} = \frac{4}{3}

Therefore the parabola vertex is

(- \frac{1}{3}, \frac{4}{3})

a < 0,

then the vertex is a maximum value

a > 0,

then the vertex is a minimum value

a = - 3

Maximum (- \frac{1}{3}, \frac{4}{3})
