Find the absolue maximum value and the absolute minimum value of the following function in the given intervals:

f(x)=4x12x2,xϵ[2,92]

Open in App
Solution

Given function is f(x)=4x12x2,f(x)=412(2x)=4x
For maxima or minima put f(x)=0,4x=0x=4 ϵ[2,92]
Now, we evaluate the value of f at critical point x=4 and at the end points of the interval [2,92]
At x=4f(4)=4(4)12(4)2=168=8At x=2f(2)=4(2)12(2)2=82=10At x=92,f(92)=4(92)12(92)2=18818=638=7.875
Thus, absolute maximum value is 8 at x=4 and absolute minimum value is -10 at x=-2.
