function 1: f(x) = -x^2 + 8x - 15 = -(x^2 - 8x + 15) = -(x^2 - 8x + 16 + 15 - 16) = -(x - 4)^2 + 1
Vertex = (4, 1)
function 2: f(x) = -x^2 + 2x - 15 = -(x^2 - 2x + 15) = -(x^2 - 2x + 1 + 15 - 1) = -(x - 1)^2 - 14
vertex = (1, -14)
Larger maximum is f(x) = -x^2 + 8x - 15

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given are two functions and we have to find the maximum of those two
FIrst one is
[tex]f(x) = -x^2+8x-15\\f(x) = -(x^2-8x+16-16)+15\\=-(x-4)^2 +31[/tex]
Thus we changed it into vertex form
Here since leading term is negative, parabola is open down and vertex is the maximum
Maximum = (4,15)
Second one is
[tex]f(x) = -x^2+2x-15\\=-(x^2-2x+1-1)-15\\=-(x-1)^2 -14[/tex]
The above is into vertex form and also
Here since leading term is negative, parabola is open down and vertex is the maximum
Maximum = (1,-14)
Out of these two, y is greater for (4,15)
Hence I function has the larger maximum
