How do I find the critical points?

Mathematics

podryga [215]3 years ago

Critical points is where the derivative (slope) is zero or does not exist. So to do this we have to find the derivative of our function:

\frac{d}{dx}(x^{2} - 1)^{3}

So we apply chain rule:

= 3(x^{2} - 1)^{2} * 2x

Set our first derivative to zero and solve for x:

3(x^2 - 1) * 2x = 0

So we can see that (by plugging in) 0, -1 and 1 makes our solution true

So our critical value is x = 0, x = -1, x = 1

Determine value of a
S_A_V [24]

For this case we have that by definition of trigonometric relations that the sine of an angle is equal to the opposite leg to the angle on the hypotenuse. That is to say:

Sin (43) = \frac {a} {26}

Clearing the value of "a":

a = 26 * sin (43)\\a = 26 * 0.68199836\\a = 17.73195736

Rounding off we have:

17.7

Option B
