导数的应用

练习导数的应用:优化、曲线绘制、中值定理

1. Find the critical numbers of f(x) = x³ - 3x + 1

2. Find the absolute maximum of f(x) = x² - 4x + 3 on [0, 3]

3. A farmer has 100 feet of fencing. What dimensions of a rectangle maximize the area?

4. On which interval is f(x) = x³ - 3x concave up?

5. If f(x) is continuous on [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b), the Mean Value Theorem guarantees there exists c in (a,b) such that:
