Solution
Maximum slope of the curve y = –x3 + 3x2 + 9x – 27 is 12.
Explanation:
Given that y = –x3 + 3x2 + 9x – 27
`"dy"/'dx"` = – 3x2 + 6x + 9
∴ Slope of the given curve,
m = – 3x2 + 6x + 9 ....`("dy"/"dx" = "m")`
`"dm"/"dx"` = –6x + 6
For local maxima and local minima, `"dm"/"dx"` = 0
∴ – 6x + 6 = 0
⇒ x = 1
Now `("d"^2"m")/("dx"^2)` = = – 6 < 0 maxima
∴ Maximum value of the slope at x = 1 is
`"m"_(x = 1)` = – 3(1)2 + 6(1) + 9
= – 3 + 6 + 9
= 12

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`
