Quadratic Functions and Maximum Values

The video tutorial explains how to determine the maximum values of quadratic functions h(x), g(x), and f(x) using different methods. It starts with a graphical analysis of h(x), followed by evaluating g(x) using given points. The tutorial then demonstrates completing the square to find the maximum value of f(x). Finally, it concludes by identifying which quadratic has the lowest maximum value.
