Math Problem Statement

What is the maximum value of this function?

Solution

The graph provided shows a downward-opening parabola, which represents a quadratic function. The maximum value of a quadratic function occurs at its vertex when the parabola opens downward.

From the graph:

  • The vertex is located at the point (0,10)(0, 10).

Therefore, the maximum value of this function is 10.

Would you like more details on how to determine the maximum value from a quadratic function's graph or have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What is the general form of a quadratic equation?
  2. How do you find the vertex of a quadratic function from its equation?
  3. What does it mean when a parabola opens upward or downward?
  4. How can you determine if a quadratic function has a maximum or minimum?
  5. What is the significance of the axis of symmetry in a parabola?

Tip: For quadratic functions, if the coefficient of x2x^2 is negative, the parabola opens downward, and the function has a maximum value at the vertex.
