Ex 6.3, 10 Find the maximum value of 2๐ฅ3 โ 24๐ฅ + 107 in the interval [1, 3]. Find the maximum value of the same function in [โ3, โ1]. Let f(๐ฅ)=2๐ฅ^3โ24๐ฅ+107 Finding fโ(๐ฅ) fโ(๐ฅ)=๐(2๐ฅ^3 โ 24๐ฅ + 107)/๐๐ฅ = 2 ร 3๐ฅ^2โ24 = 6๐ฅ^2โ24 = 6 (๐ฅ^2โ4" " ) Putting f(๐ฅ)=0 6 (๐ฅ^2โ4" " )=0 ๐ฅ^2โ4" = 0 " ๐ฅ^2=4 ๐ฅ=ยฑโ4 ๐ฅ=ยฑ2 Thus, ๐ฅ=2 , โ 2 Since x is in interval [1 , 3] ๐ฅ = 2 is only Critical point Also, since given the interval ๐ฅ= โ [1 , 3] We calculate f(x) at ๐ฅ= 1 , 2 & 3 Hence maximum value of f(๐)=๐๐ at ๐ = 3 in the interval [1 , 3] For the interval [โ๐ , โ๐] ๐ฅ = โ2 is only Critical Point Also, since given the interval ๐ฅ= โ [โ3,โ1] We calculate f(x) at ๐ฅ= โ1 , โ2 & โ3 Hence maximum value of f(๐)=๐๐๐ at ๐ = โ2 in the interval [โ3,โ1]
