How to determine whether x, y is a maximum or a minimum?


If it's a practical problem, it's the point you want. If other, you can substitute stationary point and endpoint for comparison



Extremum of function f (x) = x ^ 2 + alnx (a ∈ R)


The domain is x > 0
f'(x)=2x+a/x=1/x*(2x^2+a)
If a > = 0, then the function increases monotonically in the domain x > 0 and has no extremum
If a



Given the square of the algebraic formula x + ax + B, when x = - 1, its value is 5; when X-1, its value is - 1. Find the value of y when x = - 2


When x = - 1, its value is 5; when x = 1, its value is - 1; when x = - 2, y = 11
