For x= -3,
f’’(x)= f’’(-3) = -6.(-3)-24= -6<0, which is negative
number.
So, f(x) has a maximum value at x = -3, and the
maximum value is-
fmax= (-3)3-12(-3)2-45.(-3)+2= 2
Problem 1
For x= -5,
f’’(x)= f’’(-5) = -6.(-5)-24= 6 > 0, which is positive
number.
So, f(x) has a minimum value at x = -5, and the
minimum value is-
fmin= (-5)3-12(-5)2-45.(-5)+2= -198
Problem 1
For 𝒙 = 𝟎
𝑓’’(𝑥) = 𝑓’’(0) = −36 < 0
So, 𝑓(𝑥) has a maximum value at 𝑥 = 0 and the
maximum value is 𝑓max(𝑥) = 𝑓(0) = 1
So, maximum point is (0, 1).
Problem 2
For 𝒙 = −𝟏
𝑓’’(𝑥) = 𝑓’’(−1) = 180. (−1)2 + 48. (−1) − 36 = 180 − 48 − 36 =
96 > 0.
So, 𝑓(𝑥) has a minimum value at 𝑥 = −1, and the minimum
value is
𝑓min(𝑥) = 𝑓(−1) = 15. (−1)4 + 8. (−1)3 − 18. (−1)2 + 1 = 15 − 8 −
18 + 1 = −10
So, minimum point is (−1,−10).
Problem 2
For 𝒙 =
f’’(x)=
fmin(x)= -
So the minimum point is (, -)
Problem 2
180x2 + 48𝑥 − 36 = 0
⇒ 15x2 + 4𝑥 − 3 = 0 𝑓’’’(-)=−168 ≠
Here,
⇒ 15x2 − 5𝑥 + 9𝑥 − 3 = 0
⇒ 5𝑥(3𝑥 − 1) + 3(3𝑥 − 1) = 0
0
.˙. 𝑥 = -,
Problem 2
For x= 2,
f’’(x)= f’’(2) = 6*2-12= 0
So, at x=2, the test is inconclusive for the given
function. The use of other methods, such as the first
derivative test or higher-order derivatives are needed to
determine the nature of the critical point.
Problem 4
• A fundamental tool
• Combined with first derivative test, offers a robust framework
• Extension to higher derivative test provides additional
precision
• Relevance extends beyond theoretical mathematics
