    Solution To Practice Exercise For Lecture 23

    Q1. Find the minimum value of the function f ( x )  x 3  27 x  4 attains in the interval
    [4,-4].
    Solution.

    First of all we have to find critical points by putting f '( x )=0


    f ( x )  x 3  27 x  4
    f '( x )  3x 2  27
    put f '( x )  0
     3x 2  27  0
     3( x 2  9)  0
     x 2  9  0  x  3, 3
    now we have points 4,-4, -3 and 3 we will check on all these points
    f (4)  (4)3  27(4)  4  40
    f ( 2)  ( 4)3  27( 4)  4  48
    f (3)  (3)3  27(3)  4  50
    f ( 3)  ( 3)3  27( 3)  4  58
    So minimum value  50
    Q2. Find the maximum value of the function f ( x )  x 3  3x 2  9 x attains in the
    interval [-4, 3].
    Solution.
    First of all we have tofind critical points by putting f '( x)  0
    f ( x )  x 3  3x 2  9 x
    f '( x)  3x 2  6 x  9
    put f '( x)  0
     3x 2  6 x  9  0
     x2  2x  3  0
     x 2  3x  x  3  0
     x( x  3)  ( x  3)  0
     ( x  1)( x  3)  0  x  1, x  3
    now we have points 1,-3, 3 and -4 we will check on all these points
    f (1)  (1)3  3(1) 2  9(1)  5
    f ( 3)  ( 3)3  3( 3)2  9( 3)  27
    f (3)  (3)3  3(3) 2  9(3)  27
    f ( 4)  ( 4)3  3( 4)2  9( 4)  20
    Hence maximum value  f ( 3)  f (3)  27

    Q3. Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of the function
    f ( x )  4  x 2 on interval 3  x  1 .
    Solution.
    First we will find critical points:
    put f / ( x )  0
     2 x  0
    x0
    Now we find value of f ( x ) at critical point and at the end points of interval :
    f (0)  4  (0) 2  4
    f (1)  4  (1) 2  3
    f ( 3)  4  ( 3) 2  5
    Hence absolute maximum = 4 and absolute minimum=-5
    Q4. Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of the function
    f ( x )  2  x on interval 2  x  2 .
    Solution.
    First we will find critical points:
    Since f / (x)  1,so there is no critical points.
    Now we find value of f ( x ) at the end points of interval :
    f ( 2)  2  2  0
    f (2)  2  2  4
    Hence absolute maximum = 4 and absolute minimum=0

    Q5. Find the maximum and minimum value of the function f ( x )  3x 4  24 x 2  1 on


    the interval ( , ) .
    Solution.
    This is a continuous function on the given interval and
    lim f ( x )  lim (3x 4  24 x 2  1)  
    x  x 

    lim f ( x )  lim (3x 4  24 x 2  1)  


    x  x 
    So f has a minimum but no maximum value in the interval  ,   . To find
    the minimum value put f / ( x )  0 i.e
    f '( x )  12 x 3  48 x  0  12 x ( x 2  4)  0  x  0 and x  2 are the critical points.
    At x = 0 , f (0)  1,
    at x  2, f (2)  3(2) 4 -24(2) 2 +1=-47 and
    at x  -2 , f ( 2)  3( 2)4 -24(-2) 2 +1=-47
    so minimum value occurs at x =  2 and it is equal to 'f ( x )  -47'
