Find the largest real number $c$ such that $1$ is in the range of $f(x)=x^2-5x+c-3x+8$.

y =  x^2 -8x + (8 + c)

 

This is aparabols that turns upward

The x coordinate of the vertex  =    8 / (2*1)    =  4

 

And we want the associated y coordinate of the vertex to   = 1

 

So

 

1 = (4)^2 - 8(4) + (8 + c)

 

1  =  -16 + 8 + c

 

9  = c
