Rewrite the quadratic as x2−8x+(8+c). This quadratic forms a "U-shape." Thus, we want the vertex to have a y coordinate of 1. The vertex occurs at x=−b2a for the quadratic ax^2 + bx + c. Plugging in our values, we have 82=4. This is the x-coordinate to the vertex of the parabola. Plugging in this number and setting the equation equal to 1, we have 16 - 32 + 8 + C = 1. Therefore, C = 9 generates a vertex of (4,1). Any higher C would generate a vertex with a y coordinate greater than 1. Thus the largest real number C would be 9.
