1. Use Fermat's Pseudo-Equality Method to find the maximum value of f(x) = x² + 5x - 2. NOTE: Use Fermat's method to solve the problem for x. This will tell you WHERE the maximum value is; then you need to substitute that value in f(x) to get the maximum value of the function. (Look at Two Problems from Fermat for help.)
