Answer:
- graph is shown below
- absolute max and min do not exist
- local max: 0 at x=0
- local min: -500/27 ≈ -18.519 at x=10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is odd degree so has no absolute maximum or minimum. It factors as ...
g(x) = x^2(x -5)
so has zeros at x=0 (multiplicity 2, meaning this is a local maximum*) and x=5.
Differentiating, we find the derivative of g(x) is zero at x = 0 and x = 10/3.
g'(x) = 3x^2 -10x = x(3x -10) ⇒ x=0 and x=10/3 are critical points
The value of g(10/3) is a local minimum. That value is ...
g(10/3) = (10/3)^2((10-15)/3) = -500/27 ≈ -18.519

The local maximum is (0, 0); the local minimum is (10/3, -500/27). The graph is shown below.
_____
* When a root has even multiplicity, the graph does not cross the x-axis. That means the root corresponds to a local extremum. Since this is the left-most root of an odd-degree function with a positive leading coefficient, it is a local <em>maximum</em>. (The function is <em>increasing</em> left of the left-most turning point.)
I guess I can give a brief overview and then you can decide if I should go deeper into these meaning and use.
Complex numbers are useful because in a lot of cases we need to use the square root of a negative number. Ex.
Solve the quadratic equation x^2+x+1=0
We have to use the quadratic formula since its not factorable.
x=[-1+-sqrt(1-4*1*1)]/2
x=-1/2 + or - sqrt(-3)
If we don't have imaginary numbers, we would be stuck because sqrt(-3) wouldn't exist as you cannot take the square root of a negative number.
But with complex numbers we can actually get the answer for that equation as
x=-1/2 + or - sqrt3*i
Which would give us a mean of using this answer to calculate further to get other needs depending on the problem you are solving. If complex number is not a thing, about half of our equations will have undefined answers.
Now conjugates is a more interesting one, on the surface level we are discussing here there is not much its used for except if you have a complex number as a root of a quadratic equation, then the conjugate of that complex number must also be a solution. Again if you want me to go a more in depth just comment down below, because I could write an entire essay on this topic :-)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you add a number that is negative, you are basically subtracting it.
This means that
Since they both have the same denominator, you can easily subtract the fractions:
