Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f on the given interval. f(x) = 6x3 − 9x2 − 108x + 5, [−3, 4] absolute minimum value absolute maximum value

ANSWER

(-2,137) is an absolute maximum on the closed interval [-3,4]

(3,-238) is an absolute minimum on the closed interval [-3,4]

EXPLANATION

The given polynomial function is:

We find the first derivative to obtain:

At turning points,

This implies that,

The solutions to this quadratic equation is:

We substitute these x-values into the original functions to get the two turning points.

When x=-2, f(-2)=137

When x=3, f(3)=-238

The turning point are:

We use the second derivative test to determine which of them is an absolute minimum or maximum on the closed interval [-3,4]

This implies that, (-2,137) is an absolute maximum on the closed interval [-3,4]

This implies that, (3,-238) is an absolute minimum on the closed interval [-3,4]

just find the gcf and solve the gcf's until you get each answer i have a really good feeling somethings missing xd (like the dimensions of the fence) *cough *cough *hint *hint
