For what intervals is f(x)=xe^-x concave down?

IRISSAK [1]4 years ago

When the second derivative is negative the function is concave downward.

f(x) = xe^-x

f '(x) = e^-x - xe^-x

f '' (x) = - e^-x - [e^-x - xe^-x] = -e^-x - e^-x + xe^-x = -2e^-x + xe^-x

f ''(x) = e^-x [x - 2]

Found x for f ''(x) < 0

e^-x [x -2] < 0

Given that e^-x is always > 0, x - 2 < 0

=> x < 2

Therefore, the function is concave downward in (- ∞ , 2)

The vertex of this parabola is at (-3, -1). When the y-value is 0, the x-value is 4. What is the coefficient of the squared term
Ivanshal [37]
Hello :
<span>the parabola's equation is : f(x) = a(x+3)²-1
</span><span>the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola's equation is : a
but ; f(4) = 0
0 = a(4+3)²-1
49a-1=0.....a=1/49
f(x) = 1/49(x-3)²-2</span>
