Answer:
The maximum is -3
and the third one -3<f(x)≤ -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by expanding the exponent
-(x+7)²= -(x²+14x+49)= -x²-14x-49
simplify
-x²-14x-49-3= -x²-14x-52
To find the maximum/minimum take the first derivative
-x²-14x-52= -2x-14
set this equal to 0
-2x-14= 0
x= -7
We then plug in x= -7 into the equation to find the y value
Because the coeficcent for the degree is negative (it's -1) this is a maximum
-(-7+7)²-3 = -3
Because -3 is the highest point the graph's range is -∞<f(x)< -3
Therefore the maximum i
