hello I was wondering if anyone could help me with this question
find the coordinates of the turning point on the curve with equation y=9+18x-3x^(2)
(4 marks)
thank you

have you tried completing the square?
have you tried completing the square?
y = -3( x^2 - 6x - 3)
y = -3(( x-6)^2- 36-3)
y = -3(( x-6)^2- 39)
y = -3( x-6)^2- 117
than wasn't sure what to do next

yes, i did
y = -3( x^2 - 6x - 3)
y = -3(( x-6)^2- 36-3)
y = -3(( x-6)^2- 39)
y = -3( x-6)^2- 117
than wasn't sure what to do next

But when you complete the square, what do the terms represent in terms of a turning point.

The bold part isn't correct. Try expanding the x term in your answer you get 36x.

y = -3(( x-3)^2- 9-3)
y = -3(( x-3)^2- 12)
y = -3( x-6)^2+36
ohh
so the coordinates are
(6,36)
i think the number inside the bracket is x and the number outside the bracket is y
and because x is inside the bracket you need to change the sign
thank you

If you're unsure, just expand the completed square and check it matches the original quadratic.

Nearly there, see the bolds.

y = -3( x-3)^2+36
so it would be 3,36 ?
or do i have to times -3 by -3 first

What happens to the quadratic term? Why does this mean
y <= 36
in this case. What does the -3 multiplier affect?

Agree for the (x,y) point. A simple way to understand it is to sub x=3 into the expression.

9+18x-3x^(2) = y

9+(18x3)-3^2x3=y

I'm not sure what happens to the quadratic term ?

y(3) = -3(3-3)^2 + 36 = -3*0 + 36 = 36
x=3 makes the quadratic term (x-3)^2 zero, so the quadratic is at a turning/stationary/extreme point. The value of the quadratic is simply the last term in the completed square expression. For x != 3, then
-3(x-3)^2 < 0
as the quadratic part is > 0 and multiplying it by -3 makes it < 0. So
y <= 36
The -3 multiplier affects the curvature of the quadratic, not the value of the turning point.
