Consider the function f(x)=−8x−(2888/x) on the interval [11,20]. Find the absolute extrema for the function on the given interval. Express your answer as an ordered pair (x,f(x)). (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
we have
the behaviour of f'(x),
x=11 | 11<x<19 | x=19 | 19<x<20 | x=20 | |
sign | NA | + | 0 | - | NA |
behaviour | minimum | increasing | maximum | decreasing | minimum |
the absolute maximum at x = 19,
the absolute maximum (x, f(x)) = (19, -304) ..........................i)
the minimum at x = 11,
the minimum at x = 20,
the absolute minimum (x, f(x)) = (11, -350.545) ..........................ii)
