Respond to these 2 posts explaining the reason for your agreement or disagreement or why you think the post is important, and/or providing examples of the point(s) made. A couple sentences are acceptable.

Post 1:

The first step in determining the maximum or minimum value of a quadratic polynomial is to analyze the polynomial and determine if the parabola opens upward or downward. You would then find the vertex, followed by the x-intercept, followed by the y-intercept. Once you've found that information, you can sketch the the function on a graph. You'll determine the axis of symmetry and then after doing that you will be able to locate the maximum and minimum values of the quadratic polynomial.

Post 2:

If you have a>0 then your y coordinate of the vertex opens upward so its a minimum, it will also be a minimum if your quadratic equation is positive you can also find the minimum by graphing the function.

If you have a<0 then your vertex opens downward and you have a maximum, or you can use the equations -b/2a to find the x coordinate of the vertex , this equation can be used to find either the Minimum or Maximum.
