minimum
maximum
When a parabola opens up and the vertexis the lowest point the y-coordinate of thevertex is the minimum.
When a parabola opens down and thevertex is the highest point the y-coordinateof the vertex is the maximum.

Collins Writing Type I:
When a projectile is released into the air a number of factors come into play including initial height, maximum height, time, and velocity. If you were designing a firework display why do you think each of these factors would be important?

The path of a firework can be modeled using a quadratic function
h = –16t2 + v0t + h0
– b2a
t =
We can use the vertex formula to determine the time it takes for a firework to explode, and the maximum height that it reaches.
