  1. Given quadratic function: We are given the quadratic function f(x)=x214x48f(x) = -x^2 - 14x - 48. To find an equivalent form where the maximum value appears as a constant or coefficient, we need to complete the square.\newlineThe general form of a completed square is a(xh)2+ka(x - h)^2 + k, where (h,k)(h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.\newlineFirst, we factor out the coefficient of x2x^2, which is 1-1 in this case.\newlinef(x)=1(x2+14x+48)f(x) = -1(x^2 + 14x + 48)
  2. Factoring out the coefficient: Next, we find the value that completes the square for the expression x2+14xx^2 + 14x. This value is (142)2=49(\frac{14}{2})^2 = 49.\newlineWe add and subtract 4949 inside the parentheses to complete the square.\newlinef(x)=1(x2+14x+4949)48f(x) = -1(x^2 + 14x + 49 - 49) - 48
  3. Completing the square: Now we rewrite the expression by combining the complete square and the constants.\newlinef(x) = 1((x+7)249)48-1((x + 7)^2 - 49) - 48
  4. Rewriting the expression: Simplify the expression by distributing the 1-1 and combining the constants.\newlinef(x)=(x+7)2+4948f(x) = -(x + 7)^2 + 49 - 48\newlinef(x)=(x+7)2+1f(x) = -(x + 7)^2 + 1
  5. Simplifying the expression: We have now expressed f(x)f(x) in vertex form, where the maximum value of the function is the constant term +1+1. The correct answer is the one that matches this form. Comparing with the given options, we see that option (B) f(x)=(x+7)2+1f(x) = -(x + 7)^2 + 1 is the equivalent form that shows the maximum value as a constant.
