Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The form of F is in , and in your case, .
Your function as a graph has a maximum and opens downward, because your value for a is , because .

Finding the roots is very easy, and can be used to find the maximum value for F.
Look for where .
Roots are 0 and -1. Find then because this will be the maximum value for F.
