Two Quadratic functions are represented below
f(x)=-x^2+4x-3

a. In two or more complete sentences, explain how you can determine the maximum value of the
quadratic functions, f(x) and g(x).
b. Which function has the greater maximum value, f(x) or g(x)?

Answer 1

g(X)

Explanation:

Answer 2

You can tell that the maximum value that
`g` attains is roughly
`4`.

Rewriting
`f` in vertex form:
`f(x)=-(x-2)^2+1`. This tells us that the maximum of
`f` is
`1`.

So
`g` has the greater maximum.
