Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 123.(7)

Solution:

Formula:

Increasing and decreasing of a function:

  1. Given, $A=\left{x \mid x^{2}+20 \leq 9 x\right}={x \mid x \in[4,5]}$

Now, $\quad f^{\prime}(x)=6\left(x^{2}-5 x+6\right)$

Put $\quad f^{\prime}(x)=0 \Rightarrow x=2,3$

$ f(2)=-20, f(3)=-21, f(4)=-16, f(5)=7 $

From graph, maximum value of $f(x)$ on set $A$ is $f(5)=7$.
