Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f on the given interval. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
f(x) = x^3 − 6x^2 + 9x + 8
on
[−1, 7]

absolute max is 120 and absolute min is -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Find critical numbers

f'(x) = 3x^2 - 12x + 9 = 0

= 3(x^2 - 4x + 3) = 0

3(x-3)(x-1) = 0

(x-3) = 0 or (x-1)=0

x = 1,3

Test them!

x<1     Sign of f' on this interval is positive

1<x<3 Sign of f' on this interval is negative

x>3    Sign of f' on this interval is positive

f(x) changes from positive to negative at x = 1 which means there is a relative maximum here.

f(x) changes from negative to positive at x = 3 which means there is a relative minimum here.

Test the endpoints to find the absolute max and min.

f(-1) = -8

f(1) = 12

f(3) = 8

f(7) = 120

The absolute maximum value of f is 120 and the absolute minimum value of f is -8.

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
