Find the xvalues of the relative maxima and relative minima
Find the x-value(s) of the relative maxima and relative minima, if any, of the function. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
f(x)= x^3-75x+4
f(x)= x^3-75x+4
Solution
f(x) = x3 - 75x + 4
f\'(x) = 3x2 - 75 = 0
x2 = 25
x = ±5
f\'\'(x) = 6x
f\'\'(+5) = +30 > 0
since the graph is concave up, x = +5 is a relative minimum
f\'\'(-5) = -30 < 0
since the graph is concave down, x = -5 is a relative maximum
