Question
Find the absolute maximum value and the absolute minimum value of the following function in the given interval:
f (x) = (x −1)2 + 3, x ∈[−3, 1]
Advertisements
Solution
Given function f(x) = (x - 1)2 + 3 in the interval [-3, 1]
∴ f'(x) = 2(x - 1)
For critical points, let f' (x) = 0
If f'(x) = 0, then 2(x - 1) = 0,
⇒ x = 1 ∈ [-3, 1]
At, x = 1 f(1) = (1 - 1)2 + 3
= 0 + 3
= 3
At, x = -3 f(-3)
= (-3, -1)2 + 3
= 16 + 3 = 19
∴ Absolute maximum value of f(x) 19 at x = -3
Absolute minimum value of f(x) = 3 at x = 1.

By completing the following activity, examine the function f(x) = x3 – 9x2 + 24x for maxima and minima
Solution: f(x) = x3 – 9x2 + 24x
∴ f'(x) = `square`
∴ f''(x) = `square`
For extreme values, f'(x) = 0, we get
x = `square` or `square`
∴ f''`(square)` = – 6 < 0
∴ f(x) is maximum at x = 2.
∴ Maximum value = `square`
∴ f''`(square)` = 6 > 0
∴ f(x) is maximum at x = 4.
∴ Minimum value = `square`

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.
