Which of the following values in the absolute maximum of the function f(x) = 4x-x^2+6 on the interval [0.4]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is 10 but i keep getting 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that 0.4? or 0 and 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 and 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0,4

OpenStudy (foolaroundmath):

Try differentiating f(x) and set the derivative equal to 0 to get the point of maxima.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f'(x) = -2x+4 x = -2, i got that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean positive 2

OpenStudy (foolaroundmath):

Yes, then evaluate the value of the function to get the maximum value in that interval.

OH i had an arithmetic problem! thank you! :)

or... since this is a parabola, you can just find the vertex...
