Question

What is the maximum value of f(x)= -4x2 +16x+12

The correct answer is: 28


    Solution:- We have given a function
    f(x) = -4x2 +16x+12
    We have to find the maximum value of function
    On comparing with the standard form of the function f(x)=ax2+bx+c.
    For finding the maximum value of function we have to find the vertex of it.
    In f(x)= -4x2 +16x+12,  a= -4, b= 16, and c= 12. So, the equation for the axis of symmetry is given by
    x = −(16)/2(-4)
    x = -16/-8
    x = 2
    The equation of the axis of symmetry for f(x)= -4x2 +16x+12 is x = 2.
    The x coordinate of the vertex is the same:
    h = 2
    The y coordinate of the vertex is :
    k = f(h)
    k = -4h2 +16h+12
    k = -4(2)2 +16(2)+12
    k = -16 + 32 + 12
    k = 28
    Therefore, the vertex is (2 , 28)
    The maximum value of function will be the y-coordinate of vertex = 28
