Problem C. 1451. (December 2017)

C. 1451. Where does the curve of equation \(\displaystyle y=x|x|-2x+3\) intersect the \(\displaystyle x\) axis? Find the location and type of local extrema of this curve, and determine the corresponding \(\displaystyle y\) coordinates.

Megoldás. Bontsuk két részre az \(\displaystyle y=x|x|-2x+3\) függvényt az \(\displaystyle x\) előjelétől függően:

Ha \(\displaystyle x≥0\), akkor \(\displaystyle |x|=x\) és \(\displaystyle y=x^2-2x+3=(x-1)^2+2\).

Ha \(\displaystyle x<0\), akkor \(\displaystyle |x|=-x\) és \(\displaystyle y=-x^2-2x+3=-(x+1)^2+4\).

\(\displaystyle x≥0\) esetén a függvény nem metszi az \(\displaystyle x\) tengelyt, mivel \(\displaystyle (x-1)^2+2>0\).

\(\displaystyle x<0\) esetén \(\displaystyle -(x+1)^2+4=0\) negatív megoldása \(\displaystyle x=-3\), ez a zérushely.

\(\displaystyle x≥0\) esetén az \(\displaystyle y=(x-1)^2+2\) függvénynek akkor van minimuma, ha \(\displaystyle x-1=0\), tehát a lokális minimum helye \(\displaystyle x=1\), értéke \(\displaystyle y=2\).

\(\displaystyle x<0\) esetén az \(\displaystyle y=-(x+1)^2+4\) függvénynek akkor van maximuma, ha \(\displaystyle x+1=0\), tehát a lokális maximum helye \(\displaystyle x=-1\), értéke \(\displaystyle y=4\).
