Can anyone help with this?

 

If t is a real number, what is the maximum possible valuef of the expression -t^2 + 8t - 4 - t^2 + 12t - 6?

First, simplify the expression to 2t2+20t10

 

Now, recall that the vertex occurs at t=b2a=204=5

 

This means that if we substitute t=5 into the expression, we get the vertex. 

 

Want to try it?
