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.

Answer:
Choice D is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to write the polar equation of the conic section in standard form by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2;

The eccentricity of this conic section is thus 1, the coefficient of cos θ. Thus, this conic section is a parabola since its eccentricity is 1.
The value of the directrix is determined as;
d = k/e = 3/1 = 3
The denominator of the polar equation of this conic section contains (-cos θ) which implies that this parabola opens towards the right and thus the equation of its directrix is;
x = -3
Thus, the polar equation represents a parabola that opens towards the right with a directrix located at x = -3. Choice D fits this criteria
