Solve this math problem cause I love maths find f(x) x3 - 9x2 +15x + 3 ( btw it's x cubed and 9x squared ) 1. Find the coordinates of the local and maximum points of the curve y=F(x) to be fair since three people got it right I'll do random number generator online now :)

LOL, that's pretty easy but you need to use imaginary numbers xD, BTW im not solving the problem cause i don't need the money
 
x3 - 9x2 + 15x + 3 right or wrong? oh wait i posted the question :p not the answer.

Sorry but I might just be silly but what are we solving for derivative or for all zeros or x intercepts?
I took the derivative just cause~ F'(x)= 3x^2 -18x+15:blush:
Edit I just saw your edit~

Yeah was about to say that xD

Sorry edited the post ur looking for the local max and min points
 
xD i have learned algebra before. Its not that hard when you know the basics.
 
*pulls out graphing calculator*

Local Minimum: x=5
Local Maximum: x=1

?? Not that good at math, is this right? XD
 
Um, minimum is (5,-22) and maximum is (1,10). Is that what you were looking for?
 
Setting f'(x)=0 you get that

x=1 (local max) and x=5 (local min)

Plugging it back to the equation

f(1)= 10 @ x=1
f(5)= -22 @x=5
 
>not hard once you learn algebra

I've taken like 3 algebra classes and I'm pretty sure you just spoke in moonspeak to me. Holy hell. I felt nauseous just seeing a math problem.

I'M NEVER GOING BACK TO SCHOOL /fLEES

(Anyway this is very generous but math is too scary haha~)
 
f(x)=x^3 - 9x^2 +15x + 3
First you find the derivative which is: f'(x)=3x^2-18x+15
Then you use can use then quadratic formula or use that other method, but I'd preferably use the quadratic formula.
-b?√b^2-(4ac)/2a → -(-18)?√(-18)^2-(4*3*15)/2*3 → (18?√324-180)/6 → (18?√324-180)/6 → (18?√144)/6 → (18?12)/6
and then solve by subtracting and adding to get the two x values:
Subtraction: (18-12)/6 → x = 1
Addition: (18+12)/6 → x = 5
And then plug them into the original equation to get y or f(x):
f(x)=x^3 - 9x^2 +15x + 3 → f(1)=(1)^3-9(1)^2+15(1)+3 → f(1) = 10.
f(x)=x^3 - 9x^2 +15x + 3 → f(5)=(5)^3-9(5)^2+15(5)+3 → f(5) = -22.
∴ your coordinates are (1,10) and (5,-22).
(1,10) = Maximum.
(5, -22) = Minimum.

Yay, Calculus. xD

Those point s are right bit ur missing the ys

Ik love calculus u got it also

Plugging it back to the equation

f(1)= 10 @ x=1
f(5)= -22 @x=5
There also right

were doing this right now in math lmao

Same as me :)
