vertices y=24x-3x^2

vertices

Maximum (4, 48)

Solution steps

y = 24 x - 3 x^{2}

Rewrite

y = 24 x - 3 x^{2}

in the form

y = a x^{2} + b x + c

y = - 3 x^{2} + 24 x

The parabola parameters are:

a = - 3, b = 24, c = 0

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

x_{v} = - \frac{24}{2 ( - 3 )}

Simplify

- \frac{24}{2 ( - 3 )} : 4

x_{v} = 4

Plug in

x_{v} = 4

to find the

y_{v}

value

y_{v} = 48

Therefore the parabola vertex is

(4, 48)

a < 0,

then the vertex is a maximum value

a > 0,

then the vertex is a minimum value

a = - 3

Maximum (4, 48)
