Assuming the question marks are minus signs
to find max, take derivitive and test 0's and endpoints
take derivitive
f'(x)=18x²-18x-108
it equal 0 at x=-2 and 3
if we make a sign chart to find the change of signs
the sign changes from (+) to (-) at x=-2 and from (-) to (+) at x=3
so a reletive max at x=-2 and a reletive min at x=3
test entpoints
f(-3)=83
f(-2)=134
f(3)=-241
f(4)=-190
the min is at x=3 and max is at x=-2
use this method when you do? - 14a + 200b + 16h = 1712
Answer:
1. C. Yes, because a sum of cubes can be factored
2a. false
2b. false
2c. true
2d. false (based on what is written in the equation; refer to step-by-step)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Both 3 and 8 can be cubed, which is why x^3+8 can be factored (x+2)(x^2-2x+4)
2a. a^2-b^2 can be factored by the perfect square rule, so it should be (a-b)^2
2b. both terms are perfect squares, so you can factor, making it (a+b)(a-b)
2c. You can factor using the perfect square rule, making it (a+b)^2
2d. Most of what is in the equation is true, yet the correct solution would be (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)
