Find Critical Points: To find the absolute minimum value of the function $h(x)$ on the closed interval $[-6, 2]$ , we first need to find the critical points of $h(x)$ within the interval. Critical points occur where the derivative $h'(x)$ is zero or undefined.
Calculate Derivative: Calculate the derivative of $h(x)$ to find $h'(x)$ : $h'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} (x^3 + 6x^2 + 2)$ $= 3x^2 + 12x$
Set Equal to Zero: Set the derivative equal to zero to find the critical points: $\newline$ $3x^2 + 12x = 0$ $\newline$ $x(3x + 12) = 0$ $\newline$ This gives us two solutions: $x = 0$ and $x = -4$ .
Check Interval: Check if the critical points are within the closed interval $[-6, 2]$ . Both $x = 0$ and $x = -4$ are within the interval.
Evaluate Function: Evaluate the function $h(x)$ at the critical points and at the endpoints of the interval to find the absolute minimum value: $\newline$ $h(-6) = (-6)^3 + 6(-6)^2 + 2 = -216 + 216 + 2 = 2$ $\newline$ $h(-4) = (-4)^3 + 6(-4)^2 + 2 = -64 + 96 + 2 = 34$ $\newline$ $h(0) = (0)^3 + 6(0)^2 + 2 = 2$ $\newline$ $h(2) = (2)^3 + 6(2)^2 + 2 = 8 + 24 + 2 = 34$
Compare Values: Compare the values of $h(x)$ at the critical points and the endpoints to determine the absolute minimum value: $\newline$ $h(-6) = 2$ $\newline$ $h(-4) = 34$ $\newline$ $h(0) = 2$ $\newline$ $h(2) = 34$ $\newline$ The absolute minimum value of $h(x)$ on the interval $[-6, 2]$ is $2$ .
