Subtract $3465$ from $2340$ .

$p (- \frac{15 + \sqrt{237}}{6}) = \frac{- 1125 + 152 \sqrt{237} - 225 \sqrt{237} - 90 - 6 \sqrt{237} + 1548}{18}$

Simplify by adding and subtracting.

Subtract $90$ from $- 1125$ .

$p (- \frac{15 + \sqrt{237}}{6}) = \frac{- 1215 + 152 \sqrt{237} - 225 \sqrt{237} - 6 \sqrt{237} + 1548}{18}$

Add $- 1215$ and $1548$ .

$p (- \frac{15 + \sqrt{237}}{6}) = \frac{333 + 152 \sqrt{237} - 225 \sqrt{237} - 6 \sqrt{237}}{18}$

Subtract $225 \sqrt{237}$ from $152 \sqrt{237}$ .

$p (- \frac{15 + \sqrt{237}}{6}) = \frac{333 - 73 \sqrt{237} - 6 \sqrt{237}}{18}$

Subtract $6 \sqrt{237}$ from $- 73 \sqrt{237}$ .

$p (- \frac{15 + \sqrt{237}}{6}) = \frac{333 - 79 \sqrt{237}}{18}$

The final answer is $\frac{333 - 79 \sqrt{237}}{18}$ .

$y = \frac{333 - 79 \sqrt{237}}{18}$

Step 16

These are the local extrema for $p (x) = - 2 x^{3} - 15 x^{2} + 2 x + 86$ .

$(- \frac{15 - \sqrt{237}}{6}, \frac{333 + 79 \sqrt{237}}{18})$ is a local maxima

$(- \frac{15 + \sqrt{237}}{6}, \frac{333 - 79 \sqrt{237}}{18})$ is a local minima

Step 17

Find the Maximum/Minimum Value p(x)=-2x^3-15x^2+2x+86
