A principal is organizing a field trip for more than 500 students. She has already arranged the transportation for 380 students. Each school bus has the capacity to transport 40 students. Which of the following inequalities could be used to solve for x, the number of school buses still needed to transport all of the students? A. 40x > 500 B. 40x - 380 > 500 C. 40x > 880 D. 40x + 380 > 500

First locate the turning point (vertex) of the graph. which is at the coordinates x=5 and y=9 or (5; 9).to determine whether it's a maximum or mininum value, you have to discern whether the vertex's y-value is the highest value or lowest value the graph can reach. since the vertex's y-value, 9 is the highest value the graph can reach, it will be a maximum.another basic way to determine whether the vertex's value is max or min is to see if the graph is smiling or sad. if it's smiling, the turning point/vertex would be a minimum, while a sad parabola would have a maximum y-value at the vertex.
