Try this solution:
There are several ways to find the max or min of the given function:
1. to use derivative of the function. For more details see the attachment (3 basic steps); the coordinates of max-point are marked with green (-5; 14.5)
2. to use formulas. The given function is the standart function with common equation y=ax²+bx+c, it means the correspond formulas are (where a<0, the vertex of this function is its maximum):


Finally: point (-5;14.5) - maximum of the given function.
3. to draw a graph.
I think the answer is 5! I hope this helps!!
Answer:
1. Your answer would be C) 2√3-5√2.
2. Your answer would be -39.7i.
3. Your answer would be -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a. f(1) = -4
b. One value of x for which f(x) = -1 : 2 (or -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
a. To find f(1), we would have to find what the value of the function would be when x = 1. By using the given graph, we can find the f(1) by finding what the y-value is when x = 1. Looking at the graph, we can see that when x = 1, y = -4. Thus, f(1) = - 4.
b. Now we are also asked to find one value of x for which f(x) = -1. In other words, what values of x would make the value of the function equal to -1? We can find values of x for which f(x) = -1 by using the graph and seeing for which x-values would the y-value be -1. We can see that y = -1 at x = -2 and x = 2. So the values of x at which f(x) = -1 are -2 and 2. You can choose either one of these values.
I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.
