Identify the maximum value of the function y equals -6x2-12x-1?

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.

Why the second derivative negative for Maxima?
When you solve for the 2nd derivative, you are determining whether the function is concave up/down. If you calculated that the 2nd derivative is negative, the function is concave down, which means you have a relative/absolute maximum, given that the 1st derivative equals 0. To understand why this is, think about the definition of the 2nd derivative. It is a measure of the rate of change of the gradient. At a maximum, the gradient starts positive, becomes 0 at the maximum itself and then becomes negative, so it is decreasing. If the gradient is going down, then its rate of change, the 2nd derivative, must be negative.

What is the maximum function value of f(x)-(x-3)2?
The question is not clear. A function is defined by an equation and that requires an equals sign. there is no equals sign in the question. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "times", "divided by", "equals".

What is the max height of the Frisbee in the equation y equals -0.02d to the power of 2 plus 0.04d plus 1?
Y = -0.02 d2 + 0.04 d + 1The function is maximum where its first derivative is zero.0 = -0.04 d + 0.04d = 1Y = -0.02 + 0.04Y = + 0.02That's the maximum value of the function given in the question. If we knew howthat function relates to the height of a frisbee, we might be able to provide anactual answer to the question.
What is the smallest possible value for a where y equals Sin2a reaches its maximum?
The maximum value of the sine function is 1 and that the smallest value for a would be pie divided by 2. So, if 2a= pie divided by 2, then the answer is a=pie divided by 4(simply divide both sides by 2).
