Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is f(x) = 9·x² + 54·x - 66
The extremum of the function are found as follows;
d(f(x))/dx = 0 = d(9·x² + 54·x - 66)/dx = 18·x + 54
∴ 18·x + 54 = 0 at the maximum or minimum points
x = -54/18 = -3
Given that d²(f(x))/dx² = 18 > 0. x = -3 is a minimum point
Given that the function is a quadratic function, we have;
1) Points to the left of x = -3 are decreasing
2) Points to the right of x = -3 are increasing.
