Step 1
We will find the first derivative using the power rule
f(x)=4x36x224x+9
f(x)=4(3x2)6(2x)24
f(x)=12x212x24
Step 2
We find the critical values by solving f'(x)=0
12x212x24=0
12(x2x2)=0
12(x-2)(x+1)=0
x=2,-1
Then we find the values of the function at the critical points and at the endpoints.
f(x)=4x36x224x+9
f(2)=4(2)36(2)224(2)+9=1
f(1)=4(1)36(1)224(1)+9=23 (max)
f(2)=4(2)36(2)224(2)+9=31 (min)
f(3)=4(3)36(3)224(3)+9=9
Result:
Absolute minimum value= -31
Absolute maximum value=23
