Step-by-step explanation:
you can find where the first derivative is 0 to find the critical points
g'(x) = ( x^4 -5x^2 +4)' = 4x³-10x
g'(x) =0, make y =0 to find find where g'(x) is 0
4x³-10x =0 , factor 2x
2x(2x²-5)= 0 , each factor must be 0
2x= 0, so x= 0
2x²-5 =0, so x = ±√5/2
we now have 3 critical points -√5/2, 0, and √5/2
make intervals (-∞, -√5/2), (-√5/2, 0) , (0, √5/2) and (√5/2, +∞)
pick a point to test on each interval: -2, -1, 1 and 2 for example, and
calculate g'(x) = 4x³-10x at those points
for x= -2 we have 4(-2)³-10(-2) = -12 , negative number, decrease
for x= -1 we have 4(-1)³-10(-1) =6, positive number, increase
for x= 1 we have 4(1)³-10(1) = -6, negative number, decrease
for x= 2 we have 4(2)³-10(2) = 12, positive number, increase
we went from a decrease to an increase on intervals (-∞, -√5/2), (-√5/2, 0) so x= - √5/2 ≈ -1.58 is a minimum
we went from a decrease to an increase on intervals (0, √5/2), (√5/2, +∞) so
x= √5/2 ≈ 1.58 is a minimum as well
The distance between the two points (-1, 4) and (5, 4) is 6 units.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The given Coordinate points are (-1, 4) and (5, 4).
The points are considered as (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
Here,
x1 = -1 and x2 = 5
y1 = 4 and y2 = 4
<u>The distance formula is given by :</u>
Distance =
<u>To find the distance between these two points :</u>
The distance formula is used,
Distance =
⇒ √(6)²
⇒ √36
⇒ 6
Therefore, the between the points is 6 units.
