Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∵\because fλ(x)=4λx3−36λx2+36λ+48{f_\lambda }(x) = 4\lambda {x^3} - 36\lambda {x^2} + 36\lambda + 48

∴\therefore fλ′(x)=12(λx2−6λx+3)f{'_\lambda }(x) = 12(\lambda {x^2} - 6\lambda x + 3)

For fλ(x){f_\lambda }(x) increasing : (6λ)2−12λ≤0{(6\lambda )^2} - 12\lambda \le 0

∴\therefore λ∈[0, 13]\lambda \in \left[ {0,\,{1 \over 3}} \right]

∴\therefore λ∗=13\lambda^ * = {1 \over 3}

Now, fλ∗(x)=43x3−12x2+36x+48f_\lambda ^*(x) = {4 \over 3}{x^3} - 12{x^2} + 36x + 48

∴\therefore fλ∗(1)+fλ∗(−1)=7312−112=72f_\lambda ^*(1) + f_\lambda ^*( - 1) = 73{1 \over 2} - 1{1 \over 2} = 72
