Definitely multiply out the given factors:

f(x) = 10 + 2x - 5x - x^2, or  f(x) = -x^2 - 3x + 10
Find the derivative:  f '(x) = -2x - 3
Set the deriv. = to 0 and solve for x:  -2x = 3, and x = -3/2
This x = -3/2 is the x-coordinate of the max value.  The y-coord. is

f(-3/2) = (-3/2)^2 - 3(-3/2) + 10 = 21.25

I realize that this result does not agree with any of the four possible answers.  Please ensure that y ou have copied down this problem completely and correctly.
