Question
Prove that the following function do not have maxima or minima:
h(x) = x3 + x2 + x + 1
Advertisements
Solution
Given function, h(x) = x3 + x2 + x + 1
∴ h'(x) = 3x2 + 2x + 1 x ∈ R.
if, 3x2 + 2x + 1 = 0 then,
x `= (-2 pm sqrt(4 - 12))/6`
x `= (-2 pm sqrt(-8))/6`
`= (-1 pm sqrt (-2))/3` ...[which is non-real]
For x ∈ R, h'(x) ≠ 0
Hence there is no highest or lowest value of h.

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`
