State the restrictions on the range for y=x^4+8x^3+k

Answer: The range is y \ge k-432

The way to get this answer isn't completely obvious. What I did first was graph the function using GeoGebra allowing k to be a parameter. With k as a sliding parameter, the graph was able to be slid up and down the screen. The basic shape of the curve is a distorted W shape. The lowest point being the local minimum. Which is where the lower endpoint of the range would be.

Using the derivative, we can get
y = x^4 + 8x^3 + k
dy/dx = 4x^3 + 24x^2
set dy/dx equal to zero and solve for x
dy/dx = 0
4x^3 + 24x^2 = 0
4x^2(x + 6) = 0
4x^2 = 0 or x+6 = 0
x = 0 or x = -6

It turns out that x = 0 is a saddle point so we can ignore this value. Only x = -6 is where the local min is at. Plug this back into the original function

y = x^4+8x^3+k
y = (-6)^4+8(-6)^3+k
y = -432+k
y = k - 432

So when the input is x = -6, the output is k - 432 for some value k
In other words, the smallest y can get is k - 432. Otherwise it will be larger than this value

So that's why the range is y \ge k - 432

Note: if this calculus approach doesn't make much sense, then you can try various k values and use a calculator to find the lowest point. Making a table of k values with the corresponding lowest point would hopefully point you in the right direction.

Solve the separable differential equation dtdx=x2+164 and find the particular solution satisfying the initial condition x(0)=9
maria [59]
\dfrac{dt}{dx} = x^2 + \frac{1}{64} \Rightarrow\ dt = \left(x^2 + \frac{1}{64}\right)dx \Rightarrow \\ \\ \displaystyle \int 1 dt = \int \left(x^2 + \frac{1}{64}\right)dx \Rightarrow \\ t = \dfrac{x^3}{3} + \frac{x}{64} + C

C = 9 because all the x terms go away.

t = \dfrac{x^3}{3} + \dfrac{x}{64} + 9
