Answer:

First problem:  max when x = 4

Second problem:  min when x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of f(x) = –|x – 4| – 5 is a translation of that of g(x) = -|x|.  The vertex of the latter is (0, 0).  First this must be translated 4 units to the right and then the resulting graph 5 units downward.  The vertex of this translation is (4, -5).  Since this graph opens downward, this (4, -5) is the maximum function value, that is, when x = 4.

The graph of f(x) = x2 – 2x +­ 1, or (better yet) f(x) = x^2 – 2x +­ 1, or

f(x) = (x - 1)^2 + 0, is that of a parabola that opens upward and has its minimum at x = 1, or (1, 0).
