Since this is a negative parabola, the curve will open downwards like a mountain.  A mountain has a peak or a top, aka a maximum.  Now let's complete the square to see what that vertex is.  Rule is that the leading coefficient has to be a +1.  Ours is a -1.  So we need to factor it out.  First though, set the equation equal to 0 then move the constant away from the x terms to the other side of the equals sign.  -x^2+8x=-9.  Factoring out the -1, -1(x^2-8x)=-9.  Now we are ready to complete the square.  Take half the linear term, square it, and add it in to both sides.  Our linear term is 8.  Half of 8 is 4, and 4 squared is 16.  So we will add 16 into the set of parenthesis, but don't forget that -1 hanging out front there, refusing to be ignored.  It is a multiplier.  Therefore, what we have REALLY added in was (-1)(16) = -16.  That's what gets added onto the right side to keep things in balance.  -1(x^2-8x+16)=-9-16.  We simplify on the right to get -25.  Now on the left we will write the perfect square binomial we created while doing this process:  -1(x-4)^2=-25.  Move the -25 over to the other side by addition and set it back equal to y: -1(x-4)^2+25=y.  We see now that our vertex is (4, 25) and that it is a maximum

How to solve system of linear equations by elimination
kondaur [170]

Say you have the system:

2x + 7y = 4

3x + 5y = -5

To solve this system using elimination, you want to cancel out either the x terms or the y terms. In this equation, it makes most sense to get rid of the x terms because they can easily be calculated as opposites. So, what we need to do is multiply each term in the first equation by 3 and multiply each term in the second equation by -2:

6x + 21y = 12 (2 * 3 = 6; 7 * 3 = 21; 4 * 3 = 12)

-6x -10y = 10 (3 * -2 = -6; 5 * -2 = -10; -5 * -2 = 10)

With that, the x terms automatically cancel out and we're left with:

21y = 12

-10y = 10

From here, we can add both equations together and get:

11y = 22

y = 2 (divide both sides by 11)

After we have one variable, we can plug it right back into either of the first two original equations; ours were 2x + 7y = 4 and 3x + 5y = -5.

So we'll take the first one and put 2 in the place of y to solve for x:

2x + 7(2) = 4

2x + 14 = 4 (multiply 7 and 2)

2x = -10 (subtract 14 from both sides of the equation)

x = -5 (divide both sides by 2)

We have that y = 2 and x = -5; there is only one more step - check your work!

Plug both values back into both original equations to check your work:

2(-5) + 7(2) = 4   =>   -10 + 14 = 4   Correct!

3(-5) + 5(2) = -5   =>   -15 + 10 = -5   Correct!

I hope this was comprehensive enough. Let me know if you have any more questions.
