Find the maximum and minimum values of on the interval .

max. value is 257 at x = 4 and min. value is 63 at x = 2

F|(x)=12x3-24x2+24x-48=0


12(x3-2x2+2x-4)=0


Since for x=2, x3-2x2+2x-4=0, x-2 is a factor


On dividing x3-2x2+2x-4 by x-2, we get,


12(x-2)(x2+2)=0


X=2,4


Now, we shall evaluate the value of f at these points and the end points


F(1)=3(1)4-8(1)3+12(1)2-48(1)+1=-40


F(2)= 3(2)4-8(2)3+12(2)2-48(2)+1=-63


F(4)= 3(4)4-8(4)3+12(4)2-48(4)+1=257
