Find the local ma
Answer :
f (x) = x3 – 6x2 + 9x + 15
⇒ f’(x) = 3x2 – 12x + 9
Now, f’(x) = 0
⇒ 3x2 – 12x + 9 = 0
⇒ 3(x-1)(x-3) = 0
⇒ x = 1,3
g’’(x) = 6x – 12 =6(x-2)
Now, f’(1) = 6(1-2)=-6 < 0
and f’(3) = 6(3-2) = 6 > 0
Then, by second derivative test,
⇒ x = 1 is point of local maxima and local maximum of f at x = 1 is
f(1) = 13 – 6 +9 +15 = 19
And,
x = 3 is point of local minima and local minimum value of f at x = 3 is
f(3) = 27 – 54 + 27 +15 = 15
