Topic : Finding The Maximum And Minimum Values

1. Determine the minimum value of each of the following quadratic functions and find the
corresponding value of x.

𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 9

2. Determine the maximum value of each of the following quadratic functions and find the
corresponding value of x.

𝑓(𝑥) = −𝑥 2 − 8𝑥 + 7

3. Express the quadratic function 𝑔(𝑡) = 𝑎(𝑡 + 𝑝)2 + 𝑞 where a, p, and q are constants. Find the
values of a, p, and q. the coordinates of the turning point of the function 𝑔(𝑡) and hence
determine whether it is a maximum or a minimum point.

4. Given that the minimum value of the quadratic function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 + 2ℎ𝑥 + 5ℎ − 3 is -17
where h is a constant, find the possible values of h.

5. The quadratic equation 𝑓(𝑥) = −𝑥 2 + 3𝑝𝑥 − 2𝑝² + 1 has a maximum value of (q² -p) where p
𝑝+2
and q are constants. By completing the square, show that q = 2 .

6. Express the quadratic function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑝 + 4𝑥 − 2𝑥² where p is a constant, has a maximum
value of 9. Find the value of p.

7. Given that the minimum value of the quadratic equation function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 + 4ℎ𝑥 + 3ℎ − 5 is
-12 where h is a constant, find the possible values of h.

8. Determine the maximum value of the following equation. 𝑓(𝑥) = 5 + 12𝑥 − 3𝑥²
