Example 27 Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of a function f given by đ (đĽ) = 2đĽ3 â 15đĽ2 + 36đĽ +1 on the interval [1, 5]. f(đĽ) = 2đĽ3 â 15đĽ2 + 36đĽ + 1 Finding fâ(đ) fâ(đĽ)=6đĽ^2â30đĽ+36 Putting f â(đ)=đ 6đĽ2 â 30đĽ + 36 = 0 6(đĽ^2â5đĽ+6)=0 (đĽ^2â5đĽ+6)=0 (đĽ^2â2đĽâ3đĽ+6)=0 đĽ(đĽâ2)â3(đĽâ2)=0 (đĽâ2)(đĽâ3)=0 Hence. đ = 2 or đ = 3 Since we are given interval [đ , đ] Hence, calculating f(đĽ) at đĽ = 1, 2, 3, 5 Hence, Absolute maximum value is 56 at đ=đ Absolute minimum value is 24 at đ=đ
