1) When the denominator equals zero that is a critical point
=> x - 2 = 0 => x = 2.
So x = 2 is a critical point
2) Simplify the numerator to find an expresion of the king p(x) ≥ 0 or p(x) ≤ 0. Where p(x) equals zero you have other(s) critical point(s)
Multiply both terms:
[2x + 5] / [ x - 2] = [x - 1] / [x - 2]
for x ≠ 2 => 2x + 5 = x - 1
=> 2x - x = - 1 - 5
=> x = - 6
Then, the two critical points are x = 2 and x = - 6.
Answer: option B.
Answer:
The diameter decreases at a rate of 0.053 cm/min.
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of an snowball
The surface area of an snowball has the following equation:

In which d is the diameter.
Implicit differentiation:
To solve this question, we differentiate the equation for the surface area implictly, in function of t. So

Surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm2/min
This means that 
Tind the rate (in cm/min) at which the diameter decreases when the diameter is 9 cm.
This is
when
. So




The diameter decreases at a rate of 0.053 cm/min.
An equal sign.
If there was an equal sign kt would turn into an algebraic equation imstead of an expression.
Happy to help! Marking my answer as the Brainliest would really be aprreciated.
