have:</p>\n<p>\\[g'(x)=\\simplify{{c}*x^2+{-c*(a+b)}*x+{c*a*b}={c}*(x+{-a})(x-{b})}\\]</p>\n<p>Note that we have already factorised the derivative.</p>\n<p>Stationary points are given by solving $g'(x)=0 \\Rightarrow x=\\var{a},\\;\\;\\mbox{or }x=\\var{b}$</p>\n<p>So the least stationary point is $x=\\var{a}$ and the greatest is $x=\\var{b}$.</p>\n<p>Since $\\var{a} &gt; \\var{l}$ and $\\var{b} \\lt \\var{m}$ we have that both stationary points are in $I$.</p>\n<p>The second derivative is given by \\[g''(x)=\\simplify{{2*c}*x-{c*(a+b)}}\\]</p>\n<h4>Local Maximum</h4>\n<p>At the stationary point $x=\\var{a}$ we have $g''(\\var{a})=\\var{c*a-c*b} \\lt 0$.</p>\n<p>Hence at this value of $x$ we have a local maximum.</p>\n<p>The value of the function $g$ at this local maximum is $g(\\var{a})= \\var{valmax}$.</p>\n<h4>Local Minimum</h4>\n<p>At the stationary point $x=\\var{b}$ we have $g''(\\var{b})=\\var{c*b-c*a} \\gt 0$.</p>\n<p>Hence this point is a local minimum.</p>\n<p>The value of the function $g$ at this local minimum is $g(\\var{b})= \\var{valmin}$.</p>\n<h4>Global Maximum</h4>\n<p>First we find the values at the endpoints of the interval $I=[\\var{l},\\var{m}]$ are:</p>\n<p>$g(\\var{l})=\\var{valbegin}$ to 3 decimal places.</p>\n<p>$g(\\var{m})=\\var{valend}$ to 3 decimal places.</p>\n<p>To find the global maximum note that we are only concerned with the values of $g$ on the interval $I$.</p>\n<p>So we proceed by comparing the values of the function at the endpoints with the local maximum.</p>\n<p><strong>a)</strong> If the value at the local maximum is greater than either of the values at the endpoints then this is the global maximum on the interval.</p>\n<p><strong>b)</strong> Otherwise if the greatest value of the function at the endpoints is greater than the local maximum then this is the global maximum.</p>\n<p>\\[\\begin{array}{c|c|c|c} x &amp; \\mbox{Local Maximum}=\\var{a} &amp; \\var{l} \\in I &amp; \\var{m} \\in I \\\\ \\hline\\\\ g(x)&amp; \\var{valmax} &amp; \\var{valbegin} &amp; \\var{valend} \\\\ \\end{array} \\]</p>\n<p>So for our example we see that the global maximum occurs at $x=\\var{gma}$ and $g(\\var{gma})=\\var{valgmax}$.</p>\n<h4>Global Minimum</h4>\n<p>We proceed as for the global maximum by comparing the values of the function at the endpoints with the local minimum.</p>\n<p><strong>a)</strong> If the value at the local minimum is less than either of the values at the endpoints then this is the global minimum on the interval.</p>\n<p><strong>b)</strong> Otherwise if the least value of the function at the endpoints is less than the local minimum then this is the global minimum.</p>\n<p>\\[\\begin{array}{c|c|c|c} x &amp; \\mbox{Local Minimum}=\\var{b} &amp; \\var{l} \\in I &amp; \\var{m} \\in I \\\\ \\hline\\\\ g(x)&amp; \\var{valmin} &amp; \\var{valbegin} &amp; \\var{valend} \\\\ \\end{array} \\]</p>\n<p>In our example we see that the global minimum occurs at $x=\\var{gmi}$ and $g(\\var{gmi})=\\var{valgmin}$.</p>", "rulesets": {"std": ["all", "!collectNumbers", "fractionNumbers", "!noLeadingMinus"]}, "parts": [{"prompt":
