D: 1/6 * 2 = 2/12
hope this helps :) (please mark brainliest!)
They model various situations where there is an increasing curve. An example is if you throw a baseball and it curves back down as gravity has more and more of a affect on it. This would be a different equation than if you threw a basketball as the basketball wouldn't go as high but would have about the same downwards acceleration due to gravity.
has critical points where the derivative is 0:
The second derivative is
and 
, which indicates a local minimum at 
with a value of 
.
At the endpoints of [-2, 2], we have 
and 
, so that has an absolute minimum of 
and an absolute maximum of 
on [-2, 2].
So we have
