Let g(x) = 3f((x/3)) + f(3 − x) and   f ′′(x) > 0 for all x ∈ (0, 3). If g is   decreasing in (0, α) and increasing in  (α, 3) then find 8α.
$$\mathrm{Let}\:{g}\left({x}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{3}{f}\left(\frac{{x}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)\:+\:{f}\left(\mathrm{3}\:−\:{x}\right)\:\mathrm{and}\: \\ $$$${f}\:''\left({x}\right)\:>\:\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{all}\:{x}\:\in\:\left(\mathrm{0},\:\mathrm{3}\right).\:\mathrm{If}\:{g}\:\mathrm{is}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{decreasing}\:\mathrm{in}\:\left(\mathrm{0},\:\alpha\right)\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{increasing}\:\mathrm{in} \\ $$$$\left(\alpha,\:\mathrm{3}\right)\:\mathrm{then}\:\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{8}\alpha. \\ $$

f′′(x)>0=>f′ is strictly increasing   g′(x)=f′(x/3)−f′(3−x)  g′(x)=0  (x/3) = 3−x  x+x/3= 3   x = (9/4) is a critical point  g(x) is decreing (0,9/4)   α =9/4  8α = 18
$${f}''\left({x}\right)>\mathrm{0}=>{f}'\:{is}\:{strictly}\:{increasing}\: \\ $$$${g}'\left({x}\right)={f}'\left({x}/\mathrm{3}\right)−{f}'\left(\mathrm{3}−{x}\right) \\ $$$${g}'\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\frac{{x}}{\mathrm{3}}\:=\:\mathrm{3}−{x} \\ $$$${x}+{x}/\mathrm{3}=\:\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\:{x}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{4}}\:{is}\:{a}\:{critical}\:{point} \\ $$$${g}\left({x}\right)\:{is}\:{decreing}\:\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{9}/\mathrm{4}\right) \\ $$$$\:\alpha\:=\mathrm{9}/\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\mathrm{8}\alpha\:=\:\mathrm{18} \\ $$$$ \\ $$
