1. f(x)=X^3-3X^2+5
I need to find local Maxima and Local Minima for this Question. Also determine where the function is increasing and where it is decreasing. round answer to two decimal places.
Solution:
To find the critical points, find f'(x) and equate it to 0.
f'(x) =
Put f'(x) = 0
= 0
3x(x - 2) = 0
=>x = 0, 2
Let us check for maxima or minima
Let us find f"(x)
f"(x) = 6x - 6
f"(0) ...
