The functions f(x) = (x + 1)2 − 2 and g(x) = −(x − 2)2 + 1 have been rewritten using the completing-the-square method. Apply your knowledge of functions in vertex form to determine if the vertex for each function is a minimum or a maximum and explain your reasoning

Answer this two poles, ab and ed, are fixed to the ground with the of ropes ac and ec, as shown: two right triangles abc and edc have a common vertex c. angle abc and edc are right angles. ab is labeled 13 feet, ac is labeled 15 feet, ec is labeled 10 feet, and ed is labeled 4 feet.what is the approximate distance, in feet, between the two poles? 11.14 feet16.65 feet14.35 feet15.59 feet
