Hello, did you ever finish this test?
Relative extrema occur where the derivative is zero (at least for your polynomial function).
So taking the derivative we get
<span>20<span>x3</span>−3<span>x2</span>+6=0
</span><span>
This is a 3rd degree equation, now if we are working with complex numbers this equation is guaranteed to have 3 solutions by the fundamental theorem of algebra. But the number of real roots are 1 which can be found out by using Descartes' rule of signs. So the maximum number of relative extrema are 1.</span>
216/18 is 12 so you would multiply 3 and 12 to get 36 grams of tea leaves
The two consecutive numbers are 8 and 9.
