The deli gets 12 pound blocks of cheese. They slice the cheese into 1/4 pound and 1/2 pound packages to sell to customers.

Part A: How many 1/4 pound packages of cheese can the deli make with 12 -pounds of cheese?

Part B: How many 1/2 pound packages of cheese can the deli make with 12 pounds of cheese?

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.
