The statement true about the function is the vertex is a maximum.
A quadratic function has the formula [tex]\rm f(x) = ax^2 + bx+ c[/tex], where a, b, and c are integers with an a that is not equal to zero.
Given
The value of a function in the form [tex]\rm f(x) = ax^2 + bx+ c[/tex] is negative.
As the function is negative then the following is true:
[tex]\rm a < 1[/tex]
When the leading coefficient is less than one then:
Hence, the statement true about the function is the vertex is a maximum.
