Question
Find the absolute maximum and the absolute minimum value of the following functions in the given intervals:
$f(x) = (x - 1)^2 + 3$ in $[-3, 1]$
✓

Answer

The given function is $f(x) = (x - 1)^2+ 3.$
$\therefore$ $f'(x) = 2(x - 1)$
Now, $f'(x) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow 2(x - 1) = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 1$
Then, we evalute the value of f at critical point x = 1 and at the end point of the interval [-3, 1].
$f(1) = (1 - 1)^2 + 3 = 0 + 3 = 3$
$f(-3) = (-3 - 1)^2 + 3 = 16 + 3 = 19$
Hence, we can conclude that the absolute maximum value of f on [-3, 1] is occurring at x = -3 and the minimum value of f on [-3, 1] is 3 occurring at x = 1.
