Solution

The maximum or minimum of a quadratic function f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c is achieved at the vertex of the parabola represented by the function. The x-coordinate of the vertex (h) can be found using the formula h = -b/(2a).

Given the function f(x) = -2x^2 + 8.9x - 1.8, we can identify a = -2 and b = 8.9.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

h = -8.9/(2*-2) = 2.225

So, the value of x at which the function achieves its maximum is 2.23 (rounded to two decimal places).
