Solution
Let, f (x) = 3x4 - 8x3 + 12x2 - 48x + 25
f‘(x) = 12x3 - 24x2 + 24x - 48
= 12 [x3 - 2x2 + 2x - 4]
= 12 [x2 (x - 2) + 2 (x - 2)]
= 12 (x - 2) (x2 + 2)
If f'(x) = 0, then x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x2 + 2 = 0 is impossible.
We now find the value of f at x = 2 and the endpoints of the interval [0, 3].
At, x = 0 f(0) = 25
At, x = 2 f(2) = 3(2)4 - 8(2)3 + 12(2)2 - 48(2) + 25
= 3 × 16 - 8 × 8 + 12 × 4 - 48 × 2 + 25
= 48 - 64 + 48 - 96 + 25
= - 39
At, x = 3 f(3) = 3(3)4 - 8(3)3 + 12(3)2 - 48(3) + 25
= 3 × 81 - 8 × 27 + 12 × 9 - 48 × 3 + 25
= 243 - 216 + 108 - 144 + 25
= 16
∴ Maximum value off (x) = 25 at x = 0 and minimum value of f(x ) = -39 at x = 2.

If Mr. Rane order x chairs at the price p = (2x2 - 12x - 192) per chair. How many chairs should he order so that the cost of deal is minimum?
Solution: Let Mr. Rane order x chairs.
Then the total price of x chairs = p·x = (2x2 - 12x- 192)x
= 2x3 - 12x2 - 192x
Let f(x) = 2x3 - 12x2 - 192x
∴ f'(x) = `square` and f''(x) = `square`
f'(x ) = 0 gives x = `square` and f''(8) = `square` > 0
∴ f is minimum when x = 8
Hence, Mr. Rane should order 8 chairs for minimum cost of deal.
