Find the points of local maxima and minima if any of the following function defined in 0≤x≤6,x3−6x2+9x+15
Open in App
Solution
Let f(x)=x3−6x2+9x+15 f′(x)=3x2−12x+9=0⇒x=1,3
are the turning points f′′(x)=6x−12 f′′(1)=−6<0 ⇒f(x) has maximum at x=1 f′′(3)=6>0 ⇒f(x) has maximumat x=3
So, x=1 is a point of local maxima & x=3 is a point of local minima
