f(x)=4−2x+6x2Take derivative and find out critical points to get maxima and minimaApply power rulef(x)=4−2x+6x2f‘(x)=0+2x2+12x3f‘(x)=2x2+12x3Set the derivative =0 and solve for xLCD is x3, multiply each term by x32x2−12x3=02x2(x3)−12x3(x3)=0(x3)2x−12=02x=12x=6x=0 makes denominator 0 and it is undefinedSo x=0,x=6Break the numbers line into three intervals using 0 and 6Check each interval using derivativeLet x=−1,x=1,x=7f′(x)=2x2−12x3f′(−1)=2(1)2−12(1)3=−10f′(1)=2(1)2−12(1)3=−10f′(7)=2(7)2−12(7)3=2343Derivative is from positive in two intervalsSo increasing intervals are(−∞,0)U(6,∞)Decreasing interval (0,6)There is a break in graph of f(x)atx=0The derivative goes from negative to positive at x=6So relative minima at x=6There is no relative maxima
