Answer:
Function 1 has the larger maximum at (4, 1)
Explanation:
After observation, graph of function 1 has vertex at Maximum (4, 1)
In order to find vertex of function 2, complete square the equation.
f(x) = -x² + 2x - 3
f(x) = -(x² - 2x) - 3
f(x) = -(x - 1)² - 3 + (-1)²
f(x) = -(x - 1)² - 2
Vertex form: y = a(x - h)² + k where (h, k) is the vertex
So, here for function 2 vertex: Maximum (1, -2)
<h3>Conclusion:</h3>
Function 1 = Maximum (4, 1), Function 2 = Maximum (1, -2)
Function 1 has greater maximum value of (4, 1) as "1 is greater than -2"
