A parabola opening up has a minimum, while a parabola opening down has a maximum.


Where is the point on the parabola for the maximum area?

The point on the parabola where the maximum area occurs is at the vertex of the parabola. This is because the vertex represents the maximum or minimum point of a parabolic function.

Vertex


How do you know if a parabola has a minimum or maximum value?

When you look at the parabola if it opens downwards then the parabola has a maximum value (because it is the highest point on the graph) if it opens upward then the parabola has a minimum value (because it's the lowest possible point on the graph)

How do you tell if a quadratic function is minimum value or a maximum vale?

Standard notation for a quadratic function: y= ax2 + bx + c which forms a parabola, a is positive , minimum value (parabola opens upwards on an x-y graph) a is negative, maximum value (parabola opens downward) See related link.

the vertex, or very bottom point.I can also be called the maximum or minimum.


What is the extreme point of the parabola?

It is either a maximum or minimum value depending on its downwards shape or its upwards shape


How can a quadratic function have both a maximum and a minimum point?

A quadratic function can only have either a maximum or a minimum point, not both. The shape of the graph, which is a parabola, determines this: if the parabola opens upwards (the coefficient of the (x^2) term is positive), it has a minimum point; if it opens downwards (the coefficient is negative), it has a maximum point. Therefore, a quadratic function cannot exhibit both extreme values simultaneously.
