A quadratic function has a definite maximum or minimum point
(its vertex) that other polynomials may not have. This makes it a good
candidate for use in application problems that may require finding a
maximum or minimum quantity. If A(x) = -6x2 + 2x + 3 is used
to describe a situation involving Area, or Altitude, or Age. How would
you go about using the function and its graph to determine the maximum
area, altitude or age?
