SOLUTION

Write our the function given

To differentiate the function, we apply the differentiation rule

[tex]y=x^n,\frac{dy}{dx}=nx^{n-1}[/tex]

Hence

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=x^3-5x^2+7x-2 \\ \text{Then} \\ \frac{d}{dx}\mleft(x^3-5x^2+7x-2\mright) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then Apply the sum and difference rule for derivative, we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{d}{dx}\mleft(x^3\mright)-\frac{d}{dx}\mleft(5x^2\mright)+\frac{d}{dx}\mleft(7x\mright)-\frac{d}{dx}\mleft(2\mright) \\ =3x^2-10x+7-0 \\ =3x^2-10x+7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

For dy/dx =0,we have

[tex]3x^2-10x+7=0[/tex]

solve quadratic equation, we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x^2-3x-7x+7=0 \\ 3x(x-1)-7(x-1)=0 \\ (3x-7)(x-1)=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Equation each factor the zero, we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x-7=0,x-1=0 \\ 3x=7,x=1 \\ x=\frac{7}{3},1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence

The x coordinates are

x= 7/3 and x=1

To obtain the coordinate of the turning point, we substitute into the equation given

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=x^3-5x^2+7x-2 \\ \text{for x=7/3} \\ y=(\frac{7}{3})^3-5(\frac{7}{3})^2+7(\frac{7}{3})-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then by simplification, we have

[tex]y=-\frac{5}{27}[/tex]

Then, one of the turning point is

[tex](\frac{7}{3},-\frac{5}{27})[/tex]

Then, we substitute the other value of x,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{for x=1} \\ y=x^3-5x^2+7x-2 \\ y=(1)^3-5(1)^2+7(1)-2 \\ y=1-5+7-2 \\ y=1 \\ \text{turning point =(1,1)} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the other turning point is (1,1)

The turning point are (7/3, -5/27) and (1,1)
