Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the function below.
rX) = x - 3x2 +3

SOLUTION
Since f is continuous on
we can use the Closed Interval Method:

Since f(x) exists for all x, the only critical numbers of f occur when f'(x) =14
that
is, x = 0 or x = |2
. Notice that each of these critical numbers lies in
The
2
values of fat these critical numbers are
(0) = 3
)
and
(2) = |-1
The values of f at the endpoints of the interval are
and
(4) = 19
2.
Comparing these four numbers, we see that the absolute maximum value is (4) = 19
and the absolute minimum value is f(2) = |-1
Note that in this example the absolute maximum occurs at an endpoint, whereas the absolute
minimum occurs at a critical number. The graph of fis sketched in the figure.
