G>-1 is your solution and it would look like this on a graph..( see below)
Add it all up, the answer would be B. 2.37
Carry out the mult.: f(x) = -[x^2 - 21x + 9x - 189]
Combine like terms: f(x) = -[x^2 - 12x - 189]
Eliminate the brackets [ ]: f(x) = -x^2 + 12x + 189
Identify coefficients a, b and c: a= -1, b=12, c=189
The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -b/(2a), which here equals
x = -(12)/[2(-1)], or x = 6
This is also the x-coordinate of the vertex. Plug x=6 into the original equation to calculate the y-coordinate.
240 is 240% of 576
240% x 240 = x
(240 x 240) divide by 100
57,600 divide by 100 = 576
x = 576
