Step 1.1

Since $\frac{1}{12}$ is constant with respect to $t$ , the derivative of $\frac{{(t - 1)}^{3} (3 t + 1)}{12}$ with respect to $t$ is $\frac{1}{12} \frac{d}{d t} [{(t - 1)}^{3} (3 t + 1)]$ .

$\frac{1}{12} \frac{d}{d t} [{(t - 1)}^{3} (3 t + 1)]$

Step 1.2

Differentiate using the Product Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d t} [f (t) g (t)]$ is $f (t) \frac{d}{d t} [g (t)] + g (t) \frac{d}{d t} [f (t)]$ where $f (t) = {(t - 1)}^{3}$ and $g (t) = 3 t + 1$ .

Step 1.3.2

Since $3$ is constant with respect to $t$ , the derivative of $3 t$ with respect to $t$ is $3 \frac{d}{d t} [t]$ .

$\frac{1}{12} ({(t - 1)}^{3} (3 \frac{d}{d t} [t] + \frac{d}{d t} [1]) + (3 t + 1) \frac{d}{d t} [{(t - 1)}^{3}])$

Step 1.3.3

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d t} [t^{n}]$ is $n t^{n - 1}$ where $n = 1$ .

$\frac{1}{12} ({(t - 1)}^{3} (3 \cdot 1 + \frac{d}{d t} [1]) + (3 t + 1) \frac{d}{d t} [{(t - 1)}^{3}])$

Step 1.3.4

Step 1.4

Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that $\frac{d}{d t} [f (g (t))]$ is $f' (g (t)) g' (t)$ where $f (t) = t^{3}$ and $g (t) = t - 1$ .

Step 14.4.2.2.3

Multiply $- 2$ by $16$ .

$s' (4) = 64 - 32 + 4$

Step 14.4.2.3

Simplify by adding and subtracting.

Step 14.4.2.3.1

Subtract $32$ from $64$ .

$s' (4) = 32 + 4$

Step 14.4.2.3.2

Add $32$ and $4$ .

$s' (4) = 36$

Step 14.4.2.4

The final answer is $36$ .

$36$

Step 14.5

Since the first derivative changed signs from negative to positive around $t = 0$ , then $t = 0$ is a local minimum.

$t = 0$ is a local minimum

Step 14.6

Since the first derivative did not change signs around $t = 1$ , this is not a local maximum or minimum.

Not a local maximum or minimum

Step 14.7

These are the local extrema for $s (t) = \frac{{(t - 1)}^{3} (3 t + 1)}{12}$ .

$t = 0$ is a local minimum
