For what value of x between −8 and 8, inclusive, is the value of x^2 − 10x + 16 the greatest?  Pick
A) − 8  B) − 2  C) 0  D) 2  E) 8
we can see from the statement that two terms containing x, x^2 will always be positive and -10x will be positive if x is -ive..   so the equation will have greatest value if x is -ive, and lower the value of x, greater is the equation.   so -8 will give the greatest value..   ans − 8
