5. Find the local maxima and minima for the function y = x3 – 3x + 2

dydx=3x2–3

At stationary points, dydx=0. Thus, we have;

3x2–3=0

3(x2–1)=0

(x–1)(x+1)=0

x = 1 / x = -1

Now we have to determine whether any of these stationary points are extremum points. We’ll
use the second derivative test for this:

dydx=3x2–3

d2yd2x=6x

 For x = 1; d2yd2x=6/times1=6, which is positive. Thus the point (1, y(x = 1)) is a point of
Local Minima.
 For x = -1; d2yd2x=6/times−1=−6, which is positive. Thus the point (-1, y(x = -1)) is a point
of Local Maxima.

We can see from the graph below to verify our calculations:

This concludes our discussion on this topic of maxima and minima.
