Expert Answer
Let y = f (x) = x3 – 6x2 + 9 x – 8 Then,
= = 3x2 – 12x + 9 = 3(x2 – 4x +3)
For a local maximum or local minimum, we have
= 0 3(x2 – 4x + 3) = 0 x= 1, 3.
We have to examine whether these points are points of local maximum or local minimum or neither of them.
We have, = 3(x – 1) (x – 3)
Clearly, changes sign from positive to negative as increases through 1.
x = 1 is a point of local maximum.
Also, changes sign from negative to positive as x increases through 3.
So x = 3 is a point of local minimum.
