For the given quadratic equation we only have a maximum at y = 18.
<h3>How to find the extrema of the given function?</h3>
Here we have:
Notice that this is a quadratic equation of negative leading coefficient.
Then we have a maximum at the vertex, and both arms tend to negative infinity as x tends to infinity or negative infinity.
The vertex is at:
x = -(-4)/(2*(-2)) = -1
The maximum is:
