Answer:

the vertex represents a maximum

Vertex is (4,7)

f(x)=-(x-4)^2+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function [tex]f(x)=-x^2+8x+9[/tex]

Equation is in the form of y=ax^2+bx+c

[tex]a=-1[/tex]

When 'a' is negative, then vertex is maximum

when 'a' is positive, then vertex is minimum

[tex]a=-1[/tex] is negative, so the vertex represents a maximum

[tex]f(x)=-x^2+8x+9[/tex], factor out negative

Take out negative sign in common
