Maximization
Have you ever seen a bridge in the shape of a parabola? Where is its maximum on the bridge? The maximum of that bridge is the highest point on that bridge. The process of finding the maximum of the bridge here is called the maximization.

Answer to Problem 6E

The equation of the parabola with the vertex (−5,9) and passes through (−7,−15) in vertex form is y=−6(x+5)2+9 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Vertex (−5,9) and a point (−7,−15) .

Vertex form of a parabola is y=a(x−h)2+k .

Vertex (h,k) is (−5,9) .

By substituting the vertex in the vertex form of equation we get,

  y=a(x+5)2+9

To find the value of a , substitute (−7,−15) in the above equation.

   −15=a (−7+5) 2 +9 −15=a (−2) 2 +9−15=a(4)+9−24=a(4)a=−244=−6

Substitute a=−6 in y=a(x+5)2+9 ,

  y=−6(x+5)2+9

The above equation is the vertex form of the given parabola.
