A farmer models the crop yield (in bushels) from adding x kilograms of fertilizer by the function Y(x)=−2x2+8x+50Y(x)=-2x^{2}+8x+50 for 0≤x≤50\le x\le5. Which of the following sets of xx–values must be evaluated to determine the absolute maximum yield on this interval? a) \{0,\,5\} b) \{0,\,2,\,5\} c) \{0,\,4,\,5\} d) \{2,\,5\}
