It's part of a question i was solving, why is the maxima coming different with wavy curve (right side) and double derivative (left side).... The double derv ans is correct

a= -1/2 b=-3/4 c=3 @Real potato

The double derivative and f' don't seem to match f"=2x+1 which gives maxima at -2 and min. At 1

It's not 2x+1
SirLancelotDuLac
Oh I see what happened. You took -3/2 common, so all the signs are inverted on the wavy curve

Wait that's a thing??
SirLancelotDuLac
(Like f'=-3/2(x-1)(x+2)

That changes ur ans? Since when!!!?
SirLancelotDuLac
Yeah. Because wherever f'(x) was negative, taking out the minus made it positive.

Ahh thanks bro @Real potato bro check it out it's clear now Then why did double derivative still give correct ans?
SirLancelotDuLac
Because in the double derivative to differentiated the whole thing (Including the minus). Everything is correct. Just that you forgot a minus sign in the wavy curve.

Yo check what i wrote in double derivative, i actually didn't take minus common, so i got correct ans, taking minus would've also made double derivative ans wrong -3x-3/2 = f"(x)
