If $x$ be real, then the maximum value of $5 + 4x - 4{x^2}$ will be equal to
A
$5$
B
$6$
C
$1$
D
$2$
Solution
(b) Let $f(x) = 5 + 4x – 4{x^2} = y\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,4{x^2} – 4x – 5 + y = 0$
Since $x$ is real, so ${B^2} – 4AC \ge 0$
==> $16 – 4.4( – 5 + y) \ge 0$
==> $16 – 16( – 5 + y) \ge 0\,\, \Rightarrow \,\, – 5 + y \le 1\,\, \Rightarrow y \le 6$
Hence maximum value of $y$ is $6$.
