Question

Let f(x) = x^3 - 12r^2 + 45x + 14. Find me open Intervals on which f is increasing (decreasing). Then determine the x-coordinates of all relative maxima (minima). f is increasing on the intervals f is decreasing on the intervals The relative maxima of f occur at x = The relative minima of f occur at x = In the first two, your answer should either be a single interval, such as (0.1), a comma separated list of intervals. such as (-inf, 2). (3, 4). or the word "none". In the last two your answer should be a comma separated lot of x values or the word "none".

Explanation / Answer

f(x)=x3-12x2+45x +14

differentiate with respect to x

f '(x)=3x2-24x+45

1)f is increasing when f '(x)>0

=>3x2-24x+45>0

=>3(x2-8x+15)>0

=>(x-3)(x-5)>0

=>x<3 ,x>5

x=(-inf,3)U(5,inf)

2)

f is increasing when f '(x)<0

=>3x2-24x+45<0

=>3(x2-8x+15)<0

=>(x-3)(x-5)<0

=>x>3 ,x<5

x=(3,5)

first derivative test :

3)at x =3 ,f '(x) changes from positive to negative => relative maximum at x =3

4)at x =5 ,f '(x) changes from negative to positive => relative minimum at x =5
