Award for second derivatives of the form g"(x)= Ax+R with x=2 substituted in Altematively attempts to find the value of their g'(x) or g(x) either side of x=2 (by substituting a value for x within 0.5 either side of 2) 2"Q)= 2 <0 hence maximum. (allow embedded values but they must refer to the sign or that itis less than zero) 9 3,39 > . a s If g(x) =-9x° + 2a 3or g(x) =-3x" + Py ~3,is calculated either side of x=2 then the values must be correct or embedded correctly (you will need to check these) they need to compare g'(x) >0 tothe left of x=2 and g(x) <0 to the right of x=2or g(x) < 9 to the left and g(x)> 9 to the right of x=2 hence maximum, 3 —3x then award MIAO
