The minimum value of the function $\mathrm{f}(x)=2 x^3-15 x^2+36 x-48 \quad$ on the set $\mathrm{A}=\left\{x \mid x^2+20 \leqslant 9 x\right\}$ is
- -16
- -7
- 16
- 7
Solution
$\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{A} & =\left\{x \mid x^2+20 \leq 9 x\right\} \\
& =\left\{x \mid x^2-9 x+20 \leq 0\right\} \\
& =\{x \mid(x-4)(x-5) \leq 0\} \\
\mathrm{A} & =\{4,5\} \\
\mathrm{f}(x) & =2 x^3-15 x^2+36 x-48 \\
\therefore \quad \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(x) & =6 x^2-30 x+36 \\
& =6\left(x^2-5 x+6\right) \\
& =6(x-2)(x-3) \lt 0 \forall x \in(4,5)
\end{aligned}$
$\therefore \quad \mathrm{f}(x)$ is strictly increasing in the interval $(4,5)$.
$\therefore \quad$ Minimum value of $\mathrm{f}(x)$ when $x \in(4,5)$ is
$f(4)=-16$
