Question

will give fan and meda, for peeps who help :)

Answer 1

Give us the problem?

Answer 2

The following graph describes function 1, and the equation below it describes function 2:

Function 1

graph of function f of x equals negative x squared plus 8 multiplied by x minus 15

Function 2

f(x) = −x2 + 2x − 3

Function ____ has the larger maximum.
(Put 1 or 2 in the blank space)

Numerical Answers Expected!

Answer 3

there you go @sdw8253

Answer 4

Function 1: \[-x^2+8x-15\] Maximum value of 1 occurs at x=4
Function 2: \[-x^2 +2x-3\] Maximum value of -2 occurs at x=1
THEREFORE,
function 1 has a greater maximum

Answer 5

Basically what you do to find the maximum value is to find WHERE it occurs. I did it by doing -b/2a where b and a are ==> \[ax^2+bx^2+c\]
And then plug in that value into the original function. This is the maximum value.

Answer 6

@help_people Or if your teacher lets you, you can use a graphing calculator and graph the two functions and see what the maximum value is.
