HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

the maximum value of the function in your picture you can see with your eyes what is the top most point on the graph?

OpenStudy (ttp):

1?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

yes

OpenStudy (misty1212):

the maximum value of \[f(x)=-x^2+4x+1\] you find by finding the vertex the first coordinate of the vertex is \(-\frac{b}{2a}\) which in your case is \[-\frac{4}{2\times (-1)}=2\] plug that number in, i.e. find \[f(2)\] and you will have the maximum

OpenStudy (ttp):

1 is my answer?

OpenStudy (ttp):

@misty1212

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[f(-2)=(-2)^2+4\times (-2)+1\] or \[4-8+1=-4+1=-3\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

yeah correct answer is 1
