The x-coordinate of the vertex is and the y-coordinate is . Since a < 0, y = f(x) has a maximum value. The maximum value is .
The graph is

Find the maximum y value on the graph of y=f(x)
f(x)=-x^2+8x+1
---
Max occures when x = -b/(2a) = -8/(2*-1) = 4
---
Max y-value = f(4) = -4^2+8*4+1 = -16 + 32 + 1 = 17
