Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum is -3

and the third one -3<f(x)≤ -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by expanding the exponent

-(x+7)²= -(x²+14x+49)= -x²-14x-49

simplify

-x²-14x-49-3= -x²-14x-52

To find the maximum/minimum take the first derivative

-x²-14x-52= -2x-14

set this equal to 0

-2x-14= 0

x= -7

We then plug in x= -7 into the equation to find the y value

Because the coeficcent for the degree is negative (it's -1) this is a maximum

-(-7+7)²-3 = -3

Because -3 is the highest point the graph's range is -∞<f(x)< -3

Therefore the maximum i
