What is the y-value of the vertex of the function f(x) = –(x – 3)(x + 11)?

The y-value of the vertex is

Respuesta :

You can factor it out to get -x^2-8x+33, since the x of vertex is -b/2a, the x coordinate is -4, and plug it back in you would get 49

Answer:

49.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been a function [tex]f(x)=-(x-3)(x+11)[/tex]. We are asked to find the y-value of vertex of the given function.  

Upon multiplying both factors, we will get,

[tex]f(x)=-(x*x+11*x-3*x-3*11)[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=-(x^2+11x-3x-33)[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=-(x^2+8x-33)[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=-x^2-8x+33[/tex]        

Now, we  will use [tex]\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex] formula to find the x-coordinate of vertex of parabola.

[tex]\frac{--8}{2*-1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]-4[/tex]

Since the x-coordinate of vertex of parabola is [tex]-4[/tex], so we will substitute [tex]x=-4[/tex] in our equation to find y-coordinate of parabola.

[tex]f(-4)=-(-4)^2-8(-4)+33[/tex]  

[tex]f(-4)=-16+32+33[/tex]  

[tex]f(-4)=49[/tex]  

Therefore, the y-coordinate of vertex of the given parabola is 49.
