Absolute maximum value for this expression is .
What is absolute maximum ?
- The largest value that a mathematical function can have over its entire curve (see curve entry 3 sense 5a) .
- The absolute maximum on the graph occurs at x = d, and the absolute minimum of the graph occurs at x = a.— W.
f(x) = 2x³ - 4x² +2 , [ 1/2 , 1 ]
First critical points , by setting f'(x) = 0
f'(x) = d/dx ( 2x³ - 4x² + 2 )
= 6x² - 8x
Now 6x² - 8x = 0
2x( 3x - 4 ) = 0
2x = 0 or 3x-4 = 0
x = 0 , x = 4/3
Critical points x = 0 , x = 4/3
The critical points are not in the given interval [1/2, 1 ]
evaluate the function at the end points .
x = 1/2 ⇒ f(1/2) = 2(1/2)³ - 4( 1/2)² + 2
= 1/4 - 1 + 2
= 1/4 + 1
= 5 /4
x = 1 ⇒ f(1) = 2 (1)³ - 4(1)² +2
= 2 - 4 + 2 ⇒ 0
∴ absolute maximum =
