Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum of the given function on the specified interval.. f(x) = x 3 + x 2 + [ 3, 2] f(x) is continuous on [ 3, 2]. Therefore the function has the extreme value property. First we find the critical numbers. f (x) = 3x 2 + 2x = x(3x + 2) f (x) = 0 when x = 0, 2/3. Both values are in the given interval f (x) < 0 when 2/3 < x < 0 and f(x) > 0 when x < 2/3 or x > 0. 5

16 There is a relative max at ( 2/3, 3/27) and a relative min at (0, ) At the endpoints, f( 3) = 7 and f(2) = 3 The absolute maximum is 3 and the absolute minimum is f(x) = (x 2 4) 5 [ 3, 2] f(x) is continuous on [ 3, 2]. Therefore the function has the extreme value property. First we find the critical numbers. f (x) = 5(x 2 4) 4 (2x) f (x) = 0 when x = 2, 0, 2. These values are in the given interval. f (x) < 0 when x < 2 or 2 < x < 0; and f (x) > 0 when 0 < x < 2 or x > 2. There is a relative minimum at (0, 024). At the endpoints, f( 3) = 325 and f(2) = 0. The absolute maximum is 325 and the absolute minimum is f(x) = x 2 /(x ) [ 2, /2] f(x) is continuous on[ 2, /2]. Therefore the function has the extreme value property. First we find the critical numbers. f (x) = 2x(x ) x2 = x2 2x x(x 2) = (x ) 2 (x ) 2 (x ) 2 f (x) = 0 when x = 0, 2. Neither value is in the given interval, therefore we only have to check the endpoints. At the endpoints, f( 2) = 4/3 and f( /2) = /6. The absolute maximum is -/6 and the absolute minimum is -4/3. 6
