Quadratic functions, represented in the form ( f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c ), are useful for solving maximum and minimum problems due to their parabolic shape. The vertex of the parabola indicates the maximum or minimum value, depending on whether the parabola opens upwards (minimum) or downwards (maximum). By finding the vertex using the formula ( x = -\frac{b}{2a} ), we can efficiently determine these extrema, making quadratic functions invaluable in optimization problems.

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.
Can a quadratic functions have a maximum and a minimum?
Yes
How do you know if a quadratic has a minimum or maximum value?
When the quadratic is written in the form: y = ax2 + bx + c then if a > 0 y has a minimum if a < 0 y has a maximum and if a = 0 y is not a quadratic but y = bx + c, and it is linear. The maximum or minimum is at x = -b/(2a)
How do you determine if the graph of a quadratic function has a min or max from its equation?
If x2 is negative it will have a maximum value If x2 is positive it will have a minimum value
Maximum and minimum values of quadratic formula?
maximum and minimum are both (-b/2a , c - (b^2/4a))
What is the maximum and minimum of quadratic function parent function?
The minimum is the vertex which in this case is 0,0 or the origin. There isn't a maximum.....
How do you determine wheather a quadratic function has a maximum or minimum and how do you find it?
In theory you can go down the differentiation route but because it is a quadratic, there is a simpler solution. The general form of a quadratic equation is y = ax2 + bx + c If a > 0 then the quadratic has a minimum If a < 0 then the quadratic has a maximum [and if a = 0 it is not a quadratic!] The maximum or minimum is attained when x = -b/2a and you evaluate y = ax2 + bx + c at this value of x to find the maximum or minimum value of the quadratic.

Can a quadratic functions have a maximum and a minimum?
Yes
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.
