Find the largest value :
A=5-x^2+2x

6

Step-by-step explanation:

A=5-x^2+2x

Rewriting

A = -x^2 +2x+5

This is a downward opening parabola so the maximum value is at the vertex

Factor out the negative sign out of the first two terms

A = -(x^2 -2x)  +5

Complete the square

-2/2 = -1   -1^2 = 1

Add 1 inside the parentheses  Remember the negative sign out front so -1(1) is really adding -1  so we need to add 1 outside of the parentheses

A = -(x^2-2x+1) +1  +5

A = -(x-1)^2 +6

This is in vertex form

y = a(x-h)^2 +k  where (h,k) is the vertex

The maximum occurs at x=h and the value is k

The maximum is 6
