Answer:

g(x) = (x-2)^2 -2

If we compare this function with the vertex form we see that:

a = 1, h =2, k =-2

So then the vertex would be (h,k)=(2,-2)

And since the value for a is positive we know that the parabola open upward. We don't have a maximum defined since open upwards and the minimum point correspond to the vertex on this case (2,-2).

f(x)= -(x+4)^2 +2

If we compare this function with the vertex form we see that:

a=-1, h =-4, k = 2

And since the value for a is negative we know that the parabola open downward. We don't have a minimum defined since open downwards and the maximum point correspond to the vertex on this case (-4,2).

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that the standard form for a parabola is given by the following equation:

y = ax^2 + bx +c

And the vertex form is given by this formula:

y = a(x-h)^2 +k

And we want to find the vertex and if we have a maximum or minimum for each function. Let's begin with g(x)

g(x) = (x-2)^2 -2

If we compare this function with the vertex form we see that:

a = 1, h =2, k =-2

So then the vertex would be (h,k)=(2,-2)

And since the value for a is positive we know that the parabola open upward. We don't have a maximum defined since open upwards and the minimum point correspond to the vertex on this case (2,-2).

For the function f(x) we assume that we have the following equation:

f(x)= -(x+4)^2 +2

If we compare this function with the vertex form we see that:

a=-1, h =-4, k = 2

And since the value for a is negative we know that the parabola open downward. We don't have a minimum defined since open downwards and the maximum point correspond to the vertex on this case (-4,2).
