(a)
Consider .
The function .
Draw a coordinate plane.
Graph the functions and in the same window.
Graph :
Observe the above graph :
The function represents the average value of over the interval .
The graph of greatest on and the maximum occurs at .
(b)
The function is .
Diffrentiate the function with respect to .
To find critical values equate to zero.
Consider .
Again diffrentiate the function with respect to .
Substitute in .
By the second derivative test, the function has a maximum value at .
(a)
The function represents the average value of over the interval and maximum occurs at .
(b)
Maximum at .
