Q. f(x)=−x2−14x−48Which of the following is an equivalent form of the function f in which the maximum value of f appears as a constant or coefficient?Choose 1 answer:(A) f(x)=−(x−7)2+1(B) f(x)=−(x+7)2+1(C) f(x)=−(x+6)(x+8)(D) f(x)=−(x−8)(x−6)
Given quadratic function: We are given the quadratic function f(x)=−x2−14x−48. To find an equivalent form where the maximum value appears as a constant or coefficient, we need to complete the square.The general form of a completed square is a(x−h)2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.First, we factor out the coefficient of x2, which is −1 in this case.f(x)=−1(x2+14x+48)
Factoring out the coefficient: Next, we find the value that completes the square for the expression x2+14x. This value is (214)2=49.We add and subtract 49 inside the parentheses to complete the square.f(x)=−1(x2+14x+49−49)−48
Completing the square: Now we rewrite the expression by combining the complete square and the constants.f(x) = −1((x+7)2−49)−48
Rewriting the expression: Simplify the expression by distributing the −1 and combining the constants.f(x)=−(x+7)2+49−48f(x)=−(x+7)2+1
Simplifying the expression: We have now expressed f(x) in vertex form, where the maximum value of the function is the constant term +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+1 is the equivalent form that shows the maximum value as a constant.
