Ex 6.3, 10 Find the maximum value of 2š„3 ā 24š„ + 107 in the interval [1, 3]. Find the maximum value of the same function in [ā3, ā1]. Let f(š„)=2š„^3ā24š„+107 Finding fā(š„) fā(š„)=š(2š„^3 ā 24š„ + 107)/šš„ = 2 Ć 3š„^2ā24 = 6š„^2ā24 = 6 (š„^2ā4" " ) Putting f(š„)=0 6 (š„^2ā4" " )=0 š„^2ā4" = 0 " š„^2=4 š„=±ā4 š„=±2 Thus, š„=2 , ā 2 Since x is in interval [1 , 3] š„ = 2 is only Critical point Also, since given the interval š„= ā [1 , 3] We calculate f(x) at š„= 1 , 2 & 3 Hence maximum value of f(š)=šš at š = 3 in the interval [1 , 3] For the interval [āš , āš] š„ = ā2 is only Critical Point Also, since given the interval š„= ā [ā3,ā1] We calculate f(x) at š„= ā1 , ā2 & ā3 Hence maximum value of f(š)=ššš at š = ā2 in the interval [ā3,ā1]
