Answer:

f(x) = -1(x+1)² + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -x² - 2x + 8

This is a down-opening parabola. Put the equation into vertex form. The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum.

factor out the leading coefficient

f(x) = -1(x²+2x) + 8

Complete the square

coefficient of x term: 2

divide in half: 1

square it: 1²

use 1² to complete the square:

f(x) = -1(x²+2x+1²) + 1² + 8

f(x) = -1(x+1)² + 9

vertex (-1,9)

maximum value of f(x) = 9

Answer:

$m=\sqrt{2}$ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, it is given that the triangle is a right angle isosceles triangle (angles are 45°, 45° and 90°). This means that the two shorter sides of the triangle are equal in length and that the side $m$ can be found by using the Pythagorean theorem $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ .
