Here, we're given a function f of x, which is equal to 5x squared minus 20x plus 5.
00:06
And we want to find the locations of any maximums and minimums, as well as where it's increasing and decreasing.
00:12
To do that, we need to first start off with the critical points, because the critical points are places where it can change direction.
00:18
So, let's take the derivative and set that equal to zero, because that's where the critical points will be.
00:23
So the derivative of 5x squared, that's a power rule.
00:26
We just get 5 times 2 is 10, x, minus 20x gives us, 20 and add 5, well, that's a constant, so it goes away.
00:34
So when we set that equal to zero, i'm just going to add 20 and divide by 10 to get that x is equal to 20 over 10 or 2.
00:41
So in this case, there's only one critical point.
00:44
We could have as many critical points as we want.
00:48
You'll also notice that we were talking about the domain from zero to three.
00:55
So now let's go ahead and find out which one of these is a maximum or a minimum.
01:02
We can do that by just saying what is f of each of these points.
01:06
So 2, 0, 3.
01:12
If i plug in 0, i'm going to get 5.
01:15
If i plug in 2, i'm going to get 5 times 4 is 20 minus 2 times 20.
01:20
So that's going to be negative 20 plus 5 is negative 15.
01:24
If i plug in 3, i'm going to get 5 times 9 is 45 minus 60.
01:29
So that's going to be negative 15 plus 5 is negative 10...
