As always, a function can only have local extreme points at one of the following types of points:
1. Critical points, i.e. where \displaystyle {f}'\left( x \right)=0;
2. Points where the function is not differentiable;
3. Endpoints of the interval of definition.
We investigate these three cases.
1. We obtain the critical points by setting the derivative equal to zero:
\displaystyle \begin{align}
& {f}'\left( x \right)=\left( x^{2}-x-1 \right)^{\prime }e^{x}+\left( x^{2}-x-1 \right)\left( e^{x} \right)^{\prime } \\
& =\left( 2x-1 \right)e^{x}+\left( x^{2}-x-1 \right)e^{x} \\
& =\left( x^{2}+x-2 \right)e^{x} \\
\end{align}
This expression for the derivative can only be zero when
\displaystyle x^{2}+x-2=0, because
\displaystyle e^{x}
differs from zero for all values of
\displaystyle x.
We solve the second-degree equation by completing the square:
\displaystyle \begin{align} & \left( x+\frac{1}{2} \right)^{2}-\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{2}-2=0 \\ & =\left( x+\frac{1}{2} \right)^{2}=\frac{9}{4} \\ & =x+\frac{1}{2}=\pm \frac{3}{2} \\ \end{align}
i.e.
\displaystyle x=-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{2}=-2
and
\displaystyle x=-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{2}=1.Both of these points lie within the region of definition,
\displaystyle -3\le x\le 3
2. The function is a polynomial
\displaystyle x^{2}-x-1
multiplied by the exponential function
\displaystyle e^{x}, and, because both of these functions are differentiable, the product is also a differentiable function, which shows that the function is differentiable everywhere.
3. The function's region of definition is
\displaystyle -3\le x\le 3
and the endpoints
\displaystyle x=-3\text{ }
and
\displaystyle x=3\text{ }
are therefore possible local extreme points.
All in all, there are four points \displaystyle x=-3,\quad x=-2,\quad x=1 and \displaystyle x=3 where the function possibly has local extreme points.
Now, we will write down a table of the sign of the derivative, in order to investigate the function has local extreme points.
We can factorize the derivative somewhat,
\displaystyle {f}'\left( x \right)=\left( x^{2}+x-2 \right)e^{x}=\left( x+2 \right)\left( x-1 \right)e^{x}, since \displaystyle x^{2}+x-2 has zeros at \displaystyle x=-2 and \displaystyle x=1. Each individual factor in the derivative has a sign that is given in the table:
TABELL
The sign of the derivative is the product of these signs and from the derivative's sign we decide which local extreme points we have:
TABELL
The function has local minimum points at
\displaystyle x=-3
and
\displaystyle x=1, and local maximum points
\displaystyle x=-2
and
\displaystyle x=3.
