extreme 1/(x^2-x-6)

Solution

extreme

Solution

Maximum (\frac{1}{2}, - \frac{4}{25})

Solution steps

f^{'} (x) = - \frac{2 x - 1}{( x ^{2} - x - 6 ) ^{2}}

Find intervals:

Increasing

: - \infty < x < - 2,

Increasing

: - 2 < x < \frac{1}{2},

Decreasing

: \frac{1}{2} < x < 3,

Decreasing

: 3 < x < \infty

Plug

x = \frac{1}{2}

into

\frac{1}{x ^{2} - x - 6} : - \frac{4}{25}

Maximum (\frac{1}{2}, - \frac{4}{25})
