Some historians argue that the New England, middle, Chesapeake, and southern colonies should be viewed as distinct, separate societies rather than a single society. Support, modify, or refute this contention using specific historical evidence. I need to make an essay, but I need some help starting.

Is this the whole problem or

You're asking in the ap section, so i'll give the ap calculus-style answer. alternatively, you can find the vertex of the parabola and use the "y"-coordinate as the answer.

the maximum height can occur at a critical number, that is, a number  such that  .

the derivative of  can be calculated as follows:



find a value of  that is a zero of the derivative:


this is parabola that is opening downward; we can assume there is a maximum at  .

to find that maximum, calculate  .
