y = - 6x2 - 12x - 1 A second degree equation graphs as a parabola, and has only one max or min. At that point, the first derivative y' = 0. dy/dx = - 12x - 12 = 0 - x - 1 = 0 ==> x = - 1 At that point, y = - 6( 1 ) - 12( - 1 ) - 1 = - 6 + 12 - 1 = 5. The max value of the function is 5, and occurs when x = -1.
