Question

Find the constant C such that x ^ 3 - 3x + 5 <= C where x in[0,3] 18 23 14 17 21

Answer 1

Plug in maximum value of x (3) and see what you get. The maximum value of the expression when plugged in is C.

`3^3-3\cdot3+5=C`

`27-9+5=C\implies 23=C`

Now that means,

`x^3-3x+5\leq 23` for any x in
`[0,3]`

Hope this helps :)
