Example 21 (Method 2) Find all the points of local maxima and local minima of the function f given by š(š„)=2š„3 ā6š„2+6š„+5. š(š„)=2š„3 ā6š„2+6š„+5 Finding fā(š) šā(š„)=š(2š„3 ā 6š„2 + 6š„ + 5" " )/šš„ šā(š„)=6š„^2ā12š„+6++0 šā(š„)=6(š„^2ā2š„+1) šā(š„)=6((š„)^2+(1)^2ā2(š„)(1)) šā(š„)=š(šāš)^š Putting fā(š)=š 6(š„ā1)^2=0 (š„ā1)^2=0 So, š=š is the only critical point Finding fāā(š) fāā(š„)=6.(š(š„ ā 1)^2)/šš„ fāā(š„)=6 Ć 2(š„ā1) fāā(š„) = 12 (š„ā1) Putting š=š fāā(š„)=12(1ā1) = 0 Since fāā(1) = 0 Hence, š„=1 is neither point of Maxima nor point of Minima ā“ š=š is Point of Inflexion.
