A find the critical points, if any, of the following function on the given interval.
B determine the absolute extreme values of f on the given interval.
C use a graphing utility to confirm your conclusions.
f(x)=4x^3e^-x,[-1,4]
B determine the absolute extreme values of f on the given interval.
C use a graphing utility to confirm your conclusions.
f(x)=4x^3e^-x,[-1,4]
Solution
y\' = 12x2 e-x - 4x3 e-x = 0
12x*x - 4x*x*x = 0
x = 0 x = 3
at x=0 : 0
x = 3 : 108e-3 = 5.41
check at end points : x =-1 : -4e
x = 4 : 256e-4 = 4.725
absolute maxima : x=3 : y= 108e-3
absolue minima : x = -1 y = -4e
