If the absolute maximum value of the function in the interval [-3, is , then :
- (A)
- (B)✓ Correct
- (C)
- (D)
Answer: (B)
Solution
Taking the derivative:
For :
Analyzing the sign, throughout , so is strictly decreasing on this interval.
Therefore, the absolute maximum occurs at the left endpoint: .
For :
- The exponential factor is always positive
- for all
- on
- on
- on
Analyzing the sign, throughout , so is strictly decreasing on this interval.
Therefore, the absolute maximum occurs at the left endpoint: .
