Find the values of b such that the function has the given maximum value.

f(x) = −x^2 + bx − 14; Maximum value: 107

(smaller value): b=
(larger value): b=

2 answers

just solve
-14 - b^2/-4 = 107
Y = -x^2 + Bx - 14.
x = Xv = -B/- = B/2.

-(B/2)^2 + B*B/2 - 14 = 107.
--B^2/4 + B^2/2 - 14 = 107,
-B^2/4 + 2B^2/4 - 14 = 107,
B^2/4 = 121,
B^2 = 484,
B = 22.
