.We want f(x) to have a maximum at x = 4 and the maximum value should be 6. Three conditions will have to be satisfied: f(4) = 6 (1) because (4,6) is a point on the curve. f'(4) = 0 (2) for a maximum at x = 4 f''(4) < 0 (3) for a maximum at x = 4 Find f(4), f'(4), f''(4) put it in equations/inequality above and solve for a and b that satisfies ll three conditions.
