Use the second derivative test to find all relative extrema of f(x)=5 + 3x² - x³

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

do you know how to get the second derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know the 1st derivative is -3(x-2)x

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

expant it and do it again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer would be 6-6x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y'=6x-3x^2 y''=6-6x

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so now you must set that equal to zero to find where the function changes concaity

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

concavity*
