Question
Find the maximum and minimum value, if any, of the function given by f(x) = |x + 2| − 1.
Advertisements
Solution
Given function f(x) = |x + 2| - 1, f (x) ≥ -1; ∀ x ∈ R
|x + 2| has a minimum value of 0.
∴ Minimum value of f = -1
x + 2 = 0 i.e., when x = -2
|x + 2| can have maximum value infinity.
Hence, the maximum value does not exist.

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`
