SOLUTION: The following graph describes function 1, and the equation below it describes function 2: Function 1 graph of function f of x equals negative x squared plus 8 multiplied by x

Question 972721: The following graph describes function 1, and the equation below it describes function 2:
Function 1
graph of function f of x equals negative x squared plus 8 multiplied by x minus 15
Function 2
f(x) = -x2 + 2x - 15
Function ____ has the larger maximum.

-x^2 +8x-15
the maximum occurs at an x-value of -(b/2a), where b=8, and a=-1 -(8/-2)=+4
f(4)=-16+32-15=1
-x^2+2x-15
a=-1 b=2 -(b/2a)= -(2/-2) = 1
f(1)=-1+2-15=-14
Function 1 has the higher maximum
