3) The function f(x) = e*(x² + x – 1) has derivatives
f'(x) = e*(x² + 3x),
f"(x) = e*(x² + 5x + 3), f"(x) = e*(x² + 7x + 8)
f has a critical point at x = -3. Is that critical point a local maximum, a local minimum, or neither? (Don't
forget to justify your answer.)
The function f is continuous on [0, 3]. By the Extreme Value Theorem, f has an absolute minimum on this
b)
interval. Find the x value where it occurs. Explain why the point you found is an absolute minimum.
At x =-
