Math Problem Statement

Find the maximum and minimum values for the function y = x^2 + 2x - 1 over the interval -2 <= x <= 1. Additionally, find the value of constant c such that the maximum value of the function y = 2x^2 - 12x + c over the interval -4 <= x <= 1 is 10, and determine the corresponding minimum value.

Solution

I see that you've uploaded an image containing math problems. Here’s a breakdown of the two questions in the image:

Problem 6: The function is y=x2+2x1y = x^2 + 2x - 1, and the interval is 2x1-2 \leq x \leq 1. You are asked to find the maximum and minimum values of this function within the given interval.

Problem 7: The function is y=2x212x+cy = 2x^2 - 12x + c, and the interval is 4x1-4 \leq x \leq 1. You are tasked to determine the value of the constant cc such that the maximum value of the function is 10. Then, you are asked to find the minimum value of the function for that cc.

Would you like me to solve these problems step by step? Let me know if you need further clarification or more details!

Here are 5 related questions to consider:

  1. How do you find the maximum or minimum of a quadratic function?
  2. What role does the derivative play in finding extrema (max/min) of functions?
  3. How would you check whether a given point is a maximum or minimum for a quadratic function?
  4. Can the constant cc affect both the maximum and minimum values in Problem 7?
  5. How would changing the interval in these problems affect the maximum and minimum values?

Tip: The vertex of a quadratic function provides key insights into its maximum or minimum.
