-201+189=-12-201=-213+189=-24 . S the sign would be negative(-).
Answer:
Equation in square form:

Extreme value:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given

we can complete square

we can use formula


now, we can add and subtract 5^2



So, we get equation as

Extreme values:
we know that this parabola
and vertex of parabola always at extreme values
so, we can compare it with

where
vertex=(h,k)
now, we can compare and find h and k

we get
h=-5
k=-4
so, extreme value of this equation is

Total hours worked = 5 x 3 = 15 hours
Amount collected = 50 x 15 = $750
Amount paid to the paralegal = 30 x 15 = $450
Amount made by the firm = 750 - 450 = $300
Its true because scalene doesn't have equal sides
