Mark (√) against the correct answer in the following:
The maximum value of is
f(x) = (x-2)(x-3)2
f(x) = (x-2)(x2-6x+9)
f(x) = x3-8x2+21x-18.
f’(x) = 3x2-16x+21
f’’(x) = 6x-16
For maximum or minimum value f’(x) = 0.
∴ 3x2-9x-7x+21 = 0
⇒ 3x(x-3)-7(x-3)=0
⇒ x = 3 or x =7/3.
f’’(x) at x = 3.
∴ f’’(x) = 2
f’’(x)>0 it is decreasing and has minimum value at x = 3
At x = 7/3
F’’(x) = -2
F’’(x)<0 it is increasing and has maximum value at x = 7/3.
Substituting x = 7/3 in f(x) we get
