Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

{polynomialgraph(a,b,c,d)}

$f(x)=\simplify[all,!collectNumbers,!noleadingminus]{{a}x^3+{b}x^2+{c}x+{d}}$

$f'(x)=$ Gap 2.

$f''(x)=$ Gap 3.

Find when $f'(x)=0$ , hence find:

$x$ -coordinate of the stationary point giving a minimum $=$ Gap 0.

$x$ -coordinate of the stationary point giving a maximum $=$ Gap 1.

Advice

On differentiating we get $\displaystyle \frac{df}{dx}=\simplify[std]{{3*a}x^2+{2*b}x+{c}}$.

To find the stationary points we have to solve $\displaystyle \frac{df}{dx}=0$ for $x$.

So we have to solve $\simplify[std]{{3*a}x^2+{2*b}x+{c}=0}$.

Note that the quadratic factorises and the equation becomes $\simplify[std]{({3a}x-{r1})(x-{r2})=0}$.

Hence we have two stationary points: $x=\simplify[std]{{r1}/{3a}}$ and $x=\var{r2}$.

To find out the types of these stationary points we look at the sign of $\displaystyle \frac{d^2f}{dx^2} = \simplify{{6a}*x+{2*b}}$ at the stationary points.

If $\displaystyle \frac{d^2f}{dx^2} \lt 0 $ at a stationary point then it is a MAXIMUM.

If $\displaystyle \frac{d^2f}{dx^2} \gt 0 $ at a stationary point then it is a MINIMUM.

If $\displaystyle \frac{d^2f}{dx^2} = 0 $ at a stationary point then we have to do more work!

At $x=\var{r2}$ we have $\displaystyle \frac{d^2f}{dx^2} = \simplify{{6*a*r2+2*b}}${lg1}$0$ hence is a {type1}.

At $\displaystyle x=\simplify[std]{{r1}/{3a}}$ we have $\displaystyle \frac{d^2f}{dx^2} = \simplify{{2*r1+2*b}}${lg2}$0$ hence is a {type2}.

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
