f(x)=6x2+2cx+2f'(x)=6x^2+2cx+2

Find the critical number(s)


f(x)=0=>6x2+2cx+2=0f'(x)=0=>6x^2+2cx+2=0

3x2+cx+1=03x^2+cx+1=0x=c±c2126x=\dfrac{-c\pm\sqrt{c^2-12}}{6}

We consider xRx\in \R

c2120=>c12 or c12c^2-12\ge0=>c\le-\sqrt{12}\ or\ c\ge\sqrt{12}

The curve 𝑓(𝑥)=2𝑥3+𝑐𝑥2+2𝑥𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥^3 + 𝑐𝑥^2 + 2𝑥 have maximum and minimum for c(,12)(12,).c\in(-\infin, -\sqrt{12})\cup (\sqrt{12}, \infin).
