Maximum and minimum values

For \(y=a(x-h)^2+k\), where \(a\ne0\), the squared term is non-negative. The turning point is \((h,k)\).

If \(a>0\), the minimum value is \(k\), attained when \(x=h\). The range is \(y\ge k\).

If \(a<0\), the maximum value is \(k\), attained when \(x=h\). The range is \(y\le k\).
