What is the critical value of the function -3x^2 + 6x ?

The critical value of the function is the value of x that
cancels the first derivative of the function.


f'(x)
= (-3x^2 + 6x)'


f'(x) = -3*2x^1
+ 6


f'(x) = -6x + 6


Now,
we'll determine the roots of the equation f'(x) = 0.


-6x +
6 = 0


We'll subtract 6 both
sides:


-6x = -6


We'll divide
by -6:


x = 1


The
critical value for f(x) is x = 1.


Now,
we'll determine the local extreme of the given function, substituting x by the critical
value.


f(1) = -3*1^2 +
6*1


f(1) = -3 +
6


f(1) =
3


The maximum point of the
function is the vertex of the parabola and it has the coordinates: (1 ;
3)
.
