Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine the maximum value of the function shown on the graph, let's analyze the image.
The graph depicts a parabola that opens downward, meaning it has a maximum point (the vertex) rather than a minimum. Observing the graph, the vertex of the parabola appears to be at the point .
Thus, the maximum value of the function, represented by the -coordinate of the vertex, is 5.
However, this answer (5) does not appear among the given options:
- A:
- B:
- C:
- D:
It seems there may be an issue with the options, as none of them correctly reflects the maximum value of 5 based on the graph.
