Calc 1 anyone?
« on: August 10, 2006, 09:59:23 PM »
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to starting of this problem. It s a cubic function f(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+d and the local maximum point is (2,1) and the local minmum is (-1,-2). I have to find what a, b ,c and d is.

I started off by first getting the derivative of the equation and for f'(x)=3ax2+2bx+c then I plugged in one of the points and from there thats when i get stuck. any good ideas much appreciated
