Question

The question being asked is below in typed format, and the work provided for the question is shown hand written. My question is, isn't the second derivative wrong here? How would this be solved if so.

Crit prs- set f'lx)=0
0= -L6x²+ 12
f(x)
flx)=-2x3+ Lex²-3
f'(x) =
-Lox+12x
%3D
f"(x)= -12x
0=-4x(x-2)
|x = 0,21
Plug in to f"6) -1f (+) then min, f(-) then max
f---
f" (0) = 0 incondusive, need Sign graph
f"(a) = -12(2)= -24
(-) So a max
Minat x:
lucal min af-3 atX-0
1ocal max of 5 at X = 2
Locate the critical point of the function f(x) = -2x³ + 6x2 -3. Then use the Second Derivative Test to determine (if
possible) whether they correspond to local maxima or minima.
