It is approximately 1.000
To get the extrema, derive the function.
You get y' = 2x^-1/3 - 2.
Set this equal to zero, and you get x=0 as the location of a critical point.
Since you are on a closed interval [-1, 1], those points can also have an extrema.
Your min is right, but the max isn't at (1,1). At x=-1, you get y=5 (y = 3(-1)^2/3 -2(-1); (-1)^2/3 = 1, not -1).
Thus, the maximum is at (-1, 5).
Substitute 
, so that
Then the resulting ODE in 
is separable, with
On the left, we can split into partial fractions:
Integrating both sides gives
Now solve for 
:
Answer:
Father's age is 50, Son's age is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
X+Y=60
X-Y= 40
Let X represent the Father's age while Y represents the Son's age;
therefore, from the two equations, the value of X is
X= 60-Y
X= 40+Y then putting in the value of x
(40+Y) + Y= 60,
40+2Y=60
2Y=60-40 =20
Y= 10,
Now that we know the value of Y, we can get the value of x
If X+Y=60, then
X+10=60,
X=60-10,
X= 50
