Q. Let h(x)=−x3+4.What is the absolute maximum value of h over the closed interval [−2,2] ?Choose 1 answer:(A) 12(B) 4(C) −16(D) 16
Find Critical Points: To find the absolute maximum value of h(x) on the interval [−2,2], we need to evaluate the function at the critical points and the endpoints of the interval.
Evaluate Function: First, let's find the critical points by taking the derivative of h(x) and setting it equal to zero.h′(x)=dxd(−x3+4)=−3x2Set h′(x)=0 to find critical points:−3x2=0x=0
Compare Values: Now we evaluate the function h(x) at the critical point x=0 and at the endpoints of the interval x=−2 and x=2. h(0)=−(0)3+4=4 h(−2)=−(−2)3+4=−(−8)+4=8+4=12 h(2)=−(2)3+4=−8+4=−4
Identify Absolute Maximum: Comparing the values of h(x) at the critical point and the endpoints, we find that the absolute maximum value is 12, which occurs at x=−2.
Identify Absolute Maximum: Comparing the values of h(x) at the critical point and the endpoints, we find that the absolute maximum value is 12, which occurs at x=−2.Therefore, the absolute maximum value of h(x) over the interval [−2,2] is 12.
