What are the vertex, axis of symmetry, maximum or minimum value, and range of y = 3x^2 + 6x − 1?

1 answer:

6 0

The vertex is when x=-b/2a, which is also the line of symmetry.
in this case, b=6, a=3, so x=-6/6=-1
when x=-1. y=3-6-1=-4

another way to do it is to write the equation into vertex form by making a square:
3x²+6x-1
3(x²+2x-1/3)
3(x²+2x+1-1-1/3))
3(x²+2x+1-4/3))
notice the bold part makes a square:
3(x+1)²-4

Either way,
the vertex is (-1, -4)
the axis of symmetry is x=-1
the coefficient of x² is 3, a positive number, so this parabola opens upward. the function has a minimum value of y=-4
the range is all real number larger than -4

For the composite function, identify an inside function and an outside function and write the derivative with respect to x of th

alexira [117]

Answer:

The inner function is $h(x)=4x^2 + 8$ and the outer function is $g(x)=3x^5$ .

The derivative of the function is $\frac{d}{dx}\left(3\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)=120x\left(4x^2+8\right)^4$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A composite function can be written as $g(h(x))$ , where $h$ and $g$ are basic functions.

For the function $f(x)=3(4x^2+8)^5$ .

The inner function is the part we evaluate first. Frequently, we can identify the correct expression because it will appear within a grouping symbol one or more times in our composed function.

Here, we have $4x^2+8$ inside parentheses. So $h(x)=4x^2 + 8$ is the inner function and the outer function is $g(x)=3x^5$ .

The chain rule says:

$\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))]=f'(g(x))g'(x)$

It tells us how to differentiate composite functions.

The function $f(x)=3(4x^2+8)^5$ is the composition, $g(h(x))$ , of

outside function: $g(x)=3x^5$

inside function: $h(x)=4x^2 + 8$

The derivative of this is computed as

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(3\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)=3\frac{d}{dx}\left(\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:chain\:rule}:\quad \frac{df\left(u\right)}{dx}=\frac{df}{du}\cdot \frac{du}{dx}\\f=u^5,\:\:u=\left(4x^2+8\right)\\\\3\frac{d}{du}\left(u^5\right)\frac{d}{dx}\left(4x^2+8\right)\\\\3\cdot \:5\left(4x^2+8\right)^4\cdot \:8x\\\\120x\left(4x^2+8\right)^4$

The derivative of the function is $\frac{d}{dx}\left(3\left(4x^2+8\right)^5\right)=120x\left(4x^2+8\right)^4$ .
