A formula would be nice. Try starting with general form completely in symbols, complete the square and put into standard form. You can then read the vertex directly from the equation. The constant term will be the maximum value.

, and understand that your "a" value will be negative, since as you see, in your function, .

If no mistakes were made, then maximum value is ; this should give your maximum f to be

What is the maximum value of f to four decimal places graphically, f(x)=100x-11x^2+2?

Maximum value of f(x), or y occurs at , with:
a being - 11
b being 100
----- ------
With x being 4.5454545454, f(x) = becomes:
f(x) =

You should be able to graph the parabola based on the coordinates of the vertex being (4.54, 229.2724)
