the derivitive is just the slope
minimum happens when the derivitive goes from negative to positive, imagine a slope of the function, the minimum is where the slope goes from neative to positive, and to get there, it has to pass through 0
max happens when the derivitive goes from positive to negative
increaseing is when the derivitive is positive
so, based on what you said, the slope of f(x) is 0 at x=-3, x=1 and x=2 since those are where the derivitive is 0 (derivitive is just the slope)
A and B are wrong because the derivitive isn't 0 at those points
C is correct because increasing means that the derivitive is positive, and so therefo since the only hoirontal place in between 1 and 2 is 1.5, it must remain positive throughout and not dip down, C is right
D is wrong then
answer is C
Answer:
-24
Step-by-step explanation:
25-31=-6
-6 times 4=-24
This is a geometric sequence with a=2, r= -3/2.
Therefore,
a₁ = 2
a₂ = 2*(-3/2) = -3
a₃ = 2*(-3/2)² = 9/2 = 4.5
a₄ = 2(-3/2)³ = -27/4 = -6.75
a₅ = 2(-3/2)⁴ = 81/8 = 10.125
Answer:
In fractions, the first five terms are
2, -3, 9/2, -27/4, 81/8
In decimals, the first five terms are
2.000, -3.000, 4.500, -6.750, 10.125
I guess positive bcuz - -=+
