The maximum value of the function $f(x)=3 x^3-18 x^2+27 x-40$ on the set $\mathrm{S}=\left\{x \in \mathrm{R} / x^2+30 \leq 11 x\right\}$ is
  1. $122$
  2. $-122$
  3. $-222$
  4. $222$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{S} & =\left\{x \in \mathrm{R} / x^2+30 \leq 11 x\right\} \\ & =\left\{x \in \mathrm{R} / x^2-11 x+30 \leq 0\right\} \\ & =\{x \in \mathrm{R} /(x-5)(x-6) \leq 0\} \\ & =\{x \in \mathrm{R} / x \in[5,6]\} \\ \mathrm{f}(x) & =3 x^3-18 x^2+27 x-40 \\ \therefore \quad \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(x) & =9 x^2-36 x+27 \\ & =9(x-1)(x-3)>0 \quad \forall x \in[5,6] \end{aligned}$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}(x)$ is increasing in $[5,6]$. $\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \text { Maximum value } & =\mathrm{f}(6) \\ & =3(6)^3-18(6)^2+27(6)-40 \\ & =122 \end{aligned}$
