Determine whether f(x)=2x^2 -6x +k has a maximum or minimum value, and determine the maximum or minimum value.

Amaximum value: k
Bminimum value: k
Cmaximum value: k-9/2
Dminimum value: k-9/2
Eminimum value: k+9/2

Verified Answer :

Since it is a parabola if there is no negative sign in front of the equation then it will have a minimum.

The standard form of a quadratic is ax^2+bx+c
When a>0 then the equation will have a minimum.
When a<0 then the equation will have a maximum.
Honestly I have no idea what to do after that. The k is throwing me off.
