The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these main steps: 1. **Find the critical points of the function** by taking the first derivative and setting it to zero. 2. **Determine the nature of the critical points** using the second derivative test. 3. **Calculate the area between the curve and the x-axis** from the local maxima to the local minima. 4. **Compute the final value of \(4A\)**. ### Step 1: Find the critical points Given the function: \[ f(x) = 2x^3 - 6x^2 - 18x \] First, we differentiate \(f(x)\): \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(2x^3 - 6x^2 - 18x) = 6x^2 - 12x - 18 \] Now, set the first derivative equal to zero to find critical points: \[ 6x^2 - 12x - 18 = 0 \] Dividing the entire equation by 6: \[ x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0 \] Factoring the quadratic: \[ (x - 3)(x + 1) = 0 \] Thus, the critical points are: \[ x = 3 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -1 \] ### Step 2: Determine the nature of the critical points Next, we find the second derivative: \[ f''(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(6x^2 - 12x - 18) = 12x - 12 \] Now we evaluate the second derivative at the critical points: - For \(x = 3\): \[ f''(3) = 12(3) - 12 = 36 > 0 \] This indicates a local minimum at \(x = 3\). - For \(x = -1\): \[ f''(-1) = 12(-1) - 12 = -24 < 0 \] This indicates a local maximum at \(x = -1\). Thus, we have: - Local maxima at \(x = -1\) (denote \(a = -1\)) - Local minima at \(x = 3\) (denote \(b = 3\)) ### Step 3: Calculate the area between the curve and the x-axis The area \(A\) bounded by the curve from \(x = a\) to \(x = b\) is given by: \[ A = \int_{-1}^{3} f(x) \, dx \] We can break this integral into two parts: \[ A = \int_{-1}^{0} f(x) \, dx + \int_{0}^{3} f(x) \, dx \] Calculating the first integral: \[ \int_{-1}^{0} (2x^3 - 6x^2 - 18x) \, dx \] Calculating the second integral: \[ \int_{0}^{3} (2x^3 - 6x^2 - 18x) \, dx \] Now, we calculate the integrals: 1. **For \( \int (2x^3 - 6x^2 - 18x) \, dx \)**: \[ = \frac{2}{4}x^4 - \frac{6}{3}x^3 - \frac{18}{2}x^2 = \frac{1}{2}x^4 - 2x^3 - 9x^2 \] 2. **Evaluating from \(-1\) to \(0\)**: \[ \left[ \frac{1}{2}(0)^4 - 2(0)^3 - 9(0)^2 \right] - \left[ \frac{1}{2}(-1)^4 - 2(-1)^3 - 9(-1)^2 \right] \] \[ = 0 - \left[ \frac{1}{2} - 2 - 9 \right] = 0 - \left[ \frac{1}{2} + 2 + 9 \right] = 0 - \frac{19}{2} = -\frac{19}{2} \] 3. **Evaluating from \(0\) to \(3\)**: \[ \left[ \frac{1}{2}(3)^4 - 2(3)^3 - 9(3)^2 \right] - \left[ \frac{1}{2}(0)^4 - 2(0)^3 - 9(0)^2 \right] \] \[ = \left[ \frac{1}{2}(81) - 54 - 81 \right] - 0 = \frac{81}{2} - 54 - 81 = \frac{81}{2} - \frac{108}{2} - \frac{162}{2} = \frac{81 - 108 - 162}{2} = -\frac{189}{2} \] ### Step 4: Combine the areas The total area \(A\) is: \[ A = \left| -\frac{19}{2} \right| + \left| -\frac{189}{2} \right| = \frac{19}{2} + \frac{189}{2} = \frac{208}{2} = 104 \] Finally, we need to find \(4A\): \[ 4A = 4 \times 104 = 416 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \(4A\) is: \[ \boxed{416} \]
