Let $$a$$ be a real number such that the function $$f(x) = ax^2 + 6x - 15$$, $$x \in R$$ is increasing in $$\left(-\infty, \frac{3}{4}\right)$$ and decreasing in $$\left(\frac{3}{4}, \infty\right)$$. Then the function $$g(x) = ax^2 - 6x + 15$$, $$x \in R$$ has a
Given,
$$f(x)=ax^2+6x-15$$
Then,
$$f'(x)=2ax+6$$
Since
$$f(x)$$ is increasing before
$$x=\frac34$$
and decreasing after it, the point $$x=\frac34$$ is a point of local maximum.
Hence,
$$f'\left(\frac34\right)=0$$
Therefore,
$$2a\left(\frac34\right)+6=0$$
$$\frac{3a}{2}=-6$$
$$a=-4$$
Now,
$$g(x)=ax^2-6x+15=-4x^2-6x+15$$
Then,
$$g'(x)=-8x-6$$
Setting $$g'(x)=0,$$
$$-8x-6=0$$
$$x=-\frac34$$
Also,
$$g''(x)=-8<0$$
Hence,
$$g(x)$$ has a local maximum at $$x=-\frac34$$
