Maximum of function abs

Mathematics Asked by Hai Smit on December 6, 2021

Let function $f(x)=|2x^3-15x+m-5|+9x$ for $xinleft[0,3right]$ and $min R$. Given that $max f(x) =60$ with $xinleft[0,3right]$, find $m$.

I know how to solve this kind of problem for $g(x)=|2x^3−15x+m−5|$. However, the $+9x$ is confusing me.

One Answer

Case 1:

Let $2x^3-15x+m-5gt0$ at the point where maximum occurs.

Then our $f(x)$ becomes $2x^3-6x+m-5$

note that $f(x)$ decreases for $(0,1)$ and then increases for $xgt1$ so the maximum of $f(x)$ is at $x=3$(as $xinleft[0,3right]$)

Plugging in the $f(3)=60$ we get $m = 29$.

We can put in $x=3$ and $m = 29$ in $2x^3-6x+m-5$ and verify that it is positive.


Case 2 :

Let $2x^3-15x+m-5lt0$ at the point where maximum occurs

Then our $f(x)$ becomes $-2x^3+24x-m+5$

This function increases in $(0,2)$ and then decreases for $xgt2$ so maximum for $f(x)$ is at $x=2$

Putting $f(2)=60$ we get $m=-23$.

We can put in $x=2$ and $m = -23$ in $-2x^3+24x-m+5$ and verify that it is negative.

So we get $m= left({29 and -23}right)$
