Q. The derivative of the function f f is defined by f(x)=x254sin(2x) f^{\prime}(x)=x^{2}-5-4 \sin (2 x) . What is the x x -coordinate of the absolute maximum value of the function f f on the closed interval [4,3] [-4,3] ? You may use a calculator and round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
  1. Identify Critical Points: Identify the critical points of the function ff by finding the values of xx where the derivative f(x)f'(x) is equal to zero or undefined.\newlinef(x)=x254sin(2x)f'(x) = x^2 - 5 - 4\sin(2x)\newlineSet the derivative equal to zero to find the critical points:\newlinex254sin(2x)=0x^2 - 5 - 4\sin(2x) = 0\newlineThis equation may require numerical methods or a calculator to solve.
  2. Find Critical Points: Use a calculator to find the approximate values of xx that satisfy the equation from Step 11.\newlineAfter using a calculator, we find that the critical points within the interval [4,3][-4,3] are approximately x=2.279x = -2.279, x=0.632x = 0.632, and x=2.546x = 2.546. (Values are rounded to the nearest thousandth.)
  3. Evaluate Function: Evaluate the function ff at the critical points and at the endpoints of the interval to determine the absolute maximum value.\newlineWe need to evaluate ff at x=4x = -4, x=2.279x = -2.279, x=0.632x = 0.632, x=2.546x = 2.546, and x=3x = 3.\newlineSince we do not have the original function ff, we cannot directly evaluate ff at these points. We need the antiderivative of f(x)f'(x) to find ff00. Without the original function ff, we cannot complete this step.
