Question

Graph y = -x^2 - 2. Identify the vertex of the graph. Tell whether It is a minimum a or maximum

Answer 1

Answer:

(0,-2)

maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

-x∧2-2 = -1 (x∧2) -2

so the vertex should be (0,-2)

As it is negative for the x∧2, so the graph opens downwards. So, the vertex is a maximum.
