Suppose the function f(x) = 9x2 − 2x + 6 describes a physical situation that makes sense only for whole numbers between 0 and 10. For what value of x does f reach a maximum, and what is the maximum value? (Suggestion: We suggest beginning with a table starting at 0 with a table increment of 1 and then panning further down the table.)
