Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Read the vertex from vertex form.
2. Use opening direction to choose maximum or minimum.
3. State the k-value as the extreme value and h as the input.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Giving only the vertex without identifying the maximum or minimum value.
