Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!



c)min value= -6

NOTE:the working below is to help you understand how the value were arrived at.


find the first derivative of the function


find the value of x by equating the equation to zero


take -18 to the other side of the equation so that the equation becomes


divide by -6 on both side to have the value of x


to know  if the function is  a max or min.you find the second derivative

kindly accept my corrections on section c about the maximum or minimum value of the function.To get the maximum or minimum value of a function you substitute the value of x in the original function as follows

-3*-3^2 - (18*-3)-25

= -27- (-54)-25  when you multiply two negative value you obtain a positive value.hence

= -27+54-25


there the maximum value= 2

kindly accept the correction.If you need more clarifications kindly feel free to ask.kind regards
