Answer:
If Anne’s age is represented by the variable a then express Jenny’s age in terms of a if Jenny is three years less than half of Anne’s age
4/8-3/8=1/8more
Therefore Keith at 1/8 more of the sandwich than Henry.
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).
You have to remember P.E.M.D.A.S. when doing problems like this.
Drew used PEMDAS so we know he isn't wrong. However, Sam didn't use PEMDAS. She multiplied 2&5 instead of raising 5 to the second.
The correct answer for Sams' problem would be 30.
Hope this helps! :)
