To calculate the local extremes of a function, minimum or
maximum, we'll do the first derivative test.
f'(x) = (x^2
+ 6x -5)'
f'(x) = 2x + 6
Now,
we'll calculate the roots of the first derivative. Each root of derivative represents
the value for the function f(x) has an extreme value.
f'(x)
= 0
2x + 6 = 0
We'll factorize
by 2:
2(x+3) = 0
We'll divide
by 2:
x + 3 = 0
We'll subtract
3 both sides:
x = -3
Now,
we'll calculate the minimum value of the function:
f(-3) =
(-3)^2 + 6*(-3) - 5
f(-3) = 9 - 18 -
5
f(-3) =
-14
The coordinates of the minimum point are:
(-3 , -14).
