Given that f(x)=(3+2x)^3 (4−x)^4 on the interval −(3/2)<x<4. Find the (a) Maximum value of f(x) (b) The value of x that gives the maximum in (a)

$$\mathrm{Given}\:\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)=\left(\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{2x}\right)^{\mathrm{3}} \left(\mathrm{4}−\mathrm{x}\right)^{\mathrm{4}} \:\mathrm{on} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{interval}\:−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}<\mathrm{x}<\mathrm{4}.\:\mathrm{Find}\:\mathrm{the} \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{a}\right)\:\mathrm{Maximum}\:\mathrm{value}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{x}\right) \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{b}\right)\:\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{value}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{x}\:\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{gives}\:\mathrm{the} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{maximum}\:\mathrm{in}\:\left(\mathrm{a}\right) \\ $$

(3+2x)^3 (4−x^4 ) or rather (3+2x)^3 (4−x)^4 ?

$$\left(\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{2}{x}\right)^{\mathrm{3}} \left(\mathrm{4}−{x}^{\mathrm{4}} \right)\:{or}\:{rather}\:\left(\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{2}{x}\right)^{\mathrm{3}} \left(\mathrm{4}−{x}\right)^{\mathrm{4}} ? \\ $$

You are correct. I have changed it. Thanks.

$$\mathrm{You}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{correct}.\:\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{have}\:\mathrm{changed}\:\mathrm{it}. \\ $$ $$\mathrm{Thanks}. \\ $$

f′(x)=6(3+2x)^2 (4−x)^4 −4(4−x)^3 (3+2x)^3 = =2(3+2x)^2 (4−x)^3 (3(4−x)−2(3+2x))= =2(3+2x)^2 (4−x)^3 (6−7x) f′(x)=0 ⇒ x_(1,2) =−(3/2)∧x_(3,4,5) =4∧x_6 =(6/7) now obviously f(−(3/2))=f(4)=0 but f((6/7))=((2^4 3^3 11^7 )/7^7 )=((8418457872)/(823543))≈10222.2

Apply Cauchy′s inequality we have (3+2x)^3 (4−x)^4 =(((3+2x)^3 (6−1.5x)^4 )/(1.5^4 ))(1) Apply Cauchy′s inequality we have 7^7 (√((3+2x)(3+2x)(3+2x)(6−1.5x)(6−1.5x)(7−1.5x)(6−1.5x))) ≤(3+2x)+(3+2x)+(3+2x)+(6−1.5x)+(6−1.5x)+(7−1.5x)+(6−1.5x) =33 (2) ⇒(3+2x)^3 (6−1.5x)^4 ≤(((33)/7))^7 (((3+2x)^3 (6−1.5x)^4 )/(1.5^4 ))≤((33^7 )/(7^7 .1.5^4 )) The equality ocurrs if and only if 3+2x=6−1.5x⇔3.5x=3⇔x=(6/7) Thus f(x) has greatest value equal to ((33^7 )/(7^7 .1.5^4 )) when x=(6/7)

Yes. Both are correct.

$$\mathrm{Yes}.\:\mathrm{Both}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{correct}. \\ $$
