Given: 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎𝑥^3 + 𝑏𝑥^2 − 3 and 𝑓"(−2) = 0. If it is further given that the point (−3; 6) lies on the graph of 𝑓. Show that 𝑎 = 1/3 and 𝑏 = 2.

We start off by finding the first derivative of equation f(x) = ax³ + bx² - 3: f'(x) = 3ax² + 2bx. We now take the second derivative of equation f, because we have been to...
