Answer the following question about the function whose derivative is given below

Mathematics
1 answer:
Komok [63]3 years ago

Answer:

a) The critical points are x = 3 and x = -6.

b) f is decreasing in the interval (-\infty, -6)

f is increasing in the intervals (-6,3) and (3,\infty).

c) Local minima: x = -6

Local maxima: No local maxima

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) what are the critical points of f?

The critical points of f are those in which f^{\prime}(x) = 0. So

f^{\prime}(x) = 0

(x-3)^{2}(x+6) = 0

So, the critical points are x = 3 and x = -6.

(b) on what intervals is f increasing or decreasing? (if there is no interval put no interval)

For any interval, if f^{\prime} is positive, f is increasing in the interval. If it is negative, f is decreasing in the interval.

Our critical points are x = 3 and x = -6. So we have those following intervals:

(-\infty, -6), (-6,3), (3, \infty)

We select a point x in each interval, and calculate f^{\prime}(x).

So

-------------------------

(-\infty, -6)

f^{\prime}(-7) = (-7-3)^{2}(-7+6) = (100)(-1) = -100

f is decreasing in the interval (-\infty, -6)

---------------------------

(-6,3)

f^{\prime}(2) = (2-3)^{2}(2+6) = (1)(8) = 8

f is increasing in the interval (-6,3).

------------------------------

(3, \infty)

f^{\prime}(4) = (4-3)^{2}(4+6) = (1)(10) = 10

f is increasing in the interval (3,\infty).

(c) At what points, if any, does f assume local maximum and minima values. ( if there is no local maxima put mo local maxima) if there is no local minima put no local minima

At a critical point x, if the function goes from decreasing to increasing, it is a local minima. And if the function goes from increasing to decreasing, it is a local maxima.

So, for each critical point is this problem:

At x = -6, f goes from decreasing to increasing.

So x = -6, f assume a local minima value

At x = 3, f goes from increasing to increasing. So, there it is not a local maxima nor a local minima. So, there is no local maxima for this function.

According to the Substitution Property of Equality: If y = -5 and 7x + y = 11, then _______ . Question 9 options: 7(-5) + y = 11
ycow [4]

Answer:

7x - 5 = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, substitute y = -5 into the equation 7x + y = 11.

This becomes 7x + (-5) = 11 or 7x - 5 = 11.
