Solution
The correct option is
C
5
We have to find the absolute maximum value of
f
(
x
)
=
x
2
−
4
x
+
5
on
[
0
,
3
]
.
Consider
f
(
x
)
=
x
2
−
4
x
+
5
Since
f
(
x
)
is a polynomial it is continuous everywhere.
Differentiate
f
(
x
)
with respect to
x
on both sides we get
f
′
(
x
)
=
2
x
−
4
Now to find the critical point equate
f
′
(
x
)
to
0
.
⇒
2
x
−
4
=
0
⇒
2
x
=
4
⇒
x
=
2
The only critical point is
2
.
Now let us find the function value at the endpoints and the critical value to find the absolute maximum.
At
x
=
0
,
f
(
0
)
=
0
2
−
4
(
0
)
+
5
=
5
At
x
=
2
,
f
(
2
)
=
2
2
−
4
(
2
)
+
5
=
4
−
8
+
5
=
1
At
x
=
3
,
f
(
3
)
=
3
2
−
4
(
3
)
+
5
=
9
−
12
+
5
=
2
From the above values
we see that the absolute maximum is
5
and it occur at
x
=
0
.
