Hello!

To find the maximum value of the function f(x) = -3(x - 10)(x - 4), the easiest way is to find the vertex using the formula: x = -b/2a.

Firstly, we need to simplify f(x).

f(x) = -3(x - 10)(x - 4)

f(x) = -3(x² - 14x + 40)

f(x) = -3x² + 42x + -120

Since the equation f(x) is now simplified to standard form, we can find the vertex.

a = -3, b = 42, and c = -120

x = -(42)/2(-3) = -42/-6 = 7

Then, we substitute 7 into the the function f(x) = -3(x - 10)(x - 4), or

f(x) = -3x² + 42x + -120, to find the y-value of the vertex.

f(x) = -3(7 - 10)(7 - 4)

f(x) = -3(-3)(4)

f(x) = 27

The vertex of f(x) is (7, 27).

Therefore, the maximum x-value for the function f(x) is 7.

Maximum point occurs at the line of symmetry

<u>Step 1: Find the x-intercept. [ x- intercept = when f(x) = 0 ]</u>

f(x) = -3(x - 10)(x - 4)

-3(x - 10)(x - 4) = 0

x - 10 = 0 or x - 4 = 0

x = 10 or x = 4

-

<u>Step 2 : Find the line of symmetry [ Midpoint of x ]</u>

midpoint of x = (10 + 4) ÷ 2 = 7

Line of symmetry : x = 7

-

Answer: Maximum value occurs when x = 7

Using the Addition Method, solve for x in the following system of linear equations.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

if 2y + x = 4

we can assume that y = 2
if y - 3x = 2

it means 2 - 0 = 2

therefore x = 0
