g(x)=-2x^2-12x-22 where does the minimum or maximum value occur? What is the functions minimum or maximum value?

Answer 1

This parabola opens downward, so you have a maximum at the vertex, where

x = -b / (2a) = -(-12) / [2(-2)] = ?

Evaluate g(x) at this value of x to get the y-coordinate of the maximum.
