Answer:
a) The portfolio will be at maximum after 12 months (1 year)
b) The maximum value of the portfolio is $5432
Step-by-step explanation:
The function that models Jennifer's stock portfolio (in dollars) is , where t is the time in months since she opened the account.
We complete the square to obtain this function in vertex form:
Factor -3 from the first two terms
.
Add the zero pairs -3(+144),-3(-144)
.
Factor the perfect square trinomial and simplify.
.
The vertex of this function is (h,k)=(12,5432)
a) The portfolio will be at maximum when t=12, the h-value of the vertex
b) The maximum value of the portfolio is the k-value of the vertex which is 5432
