Answer 1

A maximum vertex in a profit function — the maximum profit (and the input value that yields that highest profit).

A minimum vertex in a diving problem — the lowest point of the dive (the minimum height/depth reached and when it occurs).

A maximum vertex in a projectile motion problem — the peak height of the projectile (the maximum altitude and the time/location of the peak).
