Find the extreme values of function y=4x-16x^2?

There is one extreme value of thegiven
function.


To determine it, we'll have to calculate the
critical value of the function, that is the root of the first
derivative.


f'(x) = -32x +
4


We'll cancel f'(x):


f'(x) =
0


-32x + 4 = 0


-32x =
-4


32x = 4


x =
4/32


x = 1/8


Since there is
one critical value, it means that the function has one extreme value and it is the
maximum point of the function.


f(1/8) = 4/8 - 16/64 = 1/2 -
4/16


f(1/8) = 1/2 - 1/4


f(1/8)
= 1/4


The maximum value of the function is
represented by the pair: (1/8 ; 1/4).

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
