That minimum value is. y (2) = 2 3 â 3 Â· 2 2 + 2 = 8 â 12 + 2 = â2. b) y = â2 x 3 â 3 x 2 + 12 x + 10. At x = 1 there is a maximum of y = 17. At x = â2 there is a minimum of y = â10. c) y = 2 x 3 + 3 x 2 + 12 x â 4. Since f ' (x) = 0 has no real solutions, there are no extreme values. d) y = 3 x 4 â 4 x 3 â 12 x 2 + 2.
Indirectly, physics has contributed to forensic science via the invention of the microscope, the electron microscope, the mass spectrometer, and optical spectrometers; but directly, its role in forensic science has been minimal.
Lesson Summary. Forensic science is science used in the criminal justice system. The practice of using scientific inquiry dates back to the 1800's when body measurements were used to identify criminals. Advancements such as fingerprint identification and DNA have made this process much more reliable.
