JEE Advance - Mathematics (2009 - Paper 2 Offline - No. 8)

The maximum value of the function $$f(x) = 2{x^3} - 15{x^2} + 36x - 48$$ on the set $$A = \{ x|{x^2} + 20 \le 9x|\} $$ is __________.
Answer
7

Explanation

We have,

$$f'(x) = 6(x - 2)(x - 3)$$

Hence, $$f(x)$$ is increasing in $$(3,\infty )$$.

Also, $$A = \{ 4 \le x \le 5\} $$

Therefore, $${f_{\max }} = f(5) = 7$$
