FUNCTIONS 3


Find the maximum value of the quadratic equation:3-2t-8t2.

Solution

a=-8, b=-2, c=3

Maximum = 4ac-b2
                       4a

Maximum = (4 x -8 x 3) - (-2)2
                          4(-8)

Maximum = (-96)- 4
                         -32

Maximum= -100
                    -32

Maximum =  25
                      8
Hence maximum value is 25/8
