![we need the minimum and maximum of f(x) in the given interval f(x)=x^4 +10x^3 +35x^2 +50x+29 f′(x)=4x^3 +30x^2 +70x+50= =2(2x+5)(x^2 +5x+5) f′(x)=0 x_1 =−(5/2)=−2.5 x_2 =−(5/2)−((√5)/2)≈−3.618 x_3 =−(5/2)+((√5)/2)≈−1.382 f′′(x)=12x^2 +60x+70 f′′(x_1 )<0 ⇒ x_1 is local maximum f′′(x_2 )>0 ⇒ x_2 is local minimum f′′(x_3 )>0 ⇒ x_3 is local minimum f(x_1 )=((89)/(16))=5.5625<f(−6)<f(6) f(x_2 )=f(x_3 )=4 max(f(x))=f(6)=5045; x∈[−6;6] min(f(x))=f(−(5/2)±((√5)/2))=4; x∈R 5045+4=5049](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q33057.png)

![i am not able to understand last 2 lines; what if 5.5625> f(6) ? and if it lies in between f(−6) , f(6)? similarly we have not put f(−6) as it does not give min. value ? why x∈[−6,6] andx∈ R othertime ?](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q33061.png)

![in this case, f(6)=5045 is the maximum for x∈[−6;6] we found local maximum at x=−(5/2) which could be the maximum in [−6;6] but it′s not because f(−(5/2))=((89)/(16))<5045 so the maximum of f(x) im this interval is 5045 the minimum is 4, it′s even the absolute minimum of f(x) for x∈R ⇒ it′s also the minimum within [−6;6]](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q33063.png)
