If f Subscript x​(a,b)equals f Subscript y​(a,b)equals​0, does it follow that f has a local maximum or local minimum at​ (a,b)?

Explain. Choose the correct answer below. A. Yes. The point​ (a,b) is a critical point and must be a local maximum or local minimum. B. Yes. The tangent plane to f at​ (a,b) is horizontal. This indicates the presence of a local maximum or a local minimum at​ (a,b). C. No. One​ (or both) of f Subscript x and f Subscript y must also not exist at​ (a,b) to be sure that f has a local maximum or local minimum at​ (a,b). D. No. It follows that​ (a,b) is a critical point of​ f, and​ (a,b) is a candidate for a local maximum or local minimum.

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point must be a critical point but it could be a saddle point. If the point is a saddle point it would not be neither a maximum nor a minimum. So it must be critical but it does not follow directly that it has a local maximum or local minimum.

Therefore D. (a,b) would be a candidate, but is not necessarily a maximum or minimum. It could be a saddle.

Is the binomial a factor of the polynomial function?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

YES

NO

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is: $ f(x) =  x^3 + 4x^2 - 25x - 100 $

(x - a) is a factor of a polynomial iff x = a is a solution to the polynomial.

To check if (x - 5) is a factor of the polynomial f(x), we substitute x = 5 and check if it satisfies the equation.

∴ f(5) = 5³ + 4(5)² - 25(5) - 100

        = 125 + 100 - 125 - 100

        = 225 - 225

        = 0

We see, x = 5 satisfies f(x). So, (x - 5) is a factor to the polynomial.

Now, to check (x + 2) is a factor.

i.e., to check x = - 2 satisfies f(x) or not.

f(-2) = (-2)³ + 4(-2)² - 25(-2) - 100

      = -8 + 16 + 50 - 100

     = -108 + 66

     ≠ 0

Therefore, (x  + 2) is not a factor of f(x).

To check (x - 4) is a factor.

∴ f(4) = 4³ + 4(4)² - 25(4) - 100

        = 64 + 64 - 100 - 100

        = 128 - 200

        ≠ 0

Therefore, (x - 4) is not a factor of f(x).
