25% is the percent increase
You have to searh the x values that make f(x) = 0
Factoring this equation is very difficult.
You can divide by x+3 and you will find that the equation can be factored as
(x+3)(x-4)^2
That means that x = -3 and x = 4 make f(x) = 0
Then the points are (-3,0) and (4,0).
Answer:
125.141
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that this is an equilateral triangle, I am going to divide this triangle in half to get a right triangle.
17 is our hypotenuse
17/2 = 8.5, this is one of our legs
The other leg is our height, which we will find.
We use Pythagoras Theorem to find the height/leg: 

= 14.72243186
Now, we use another formula to find the area of the triangle: 
14.72243186 × 17 = 250.2813416
250.2813416 ÷ 2 = <u>125.1406708</u>
(?) = (x - 3)(x + 3)

The value of the second derivative for

is neither positive nor negative, so you can't tell whether this point is a minimum or a maximum. You need to check the values of the first derivative around the point.
But the value of

is always positive for

. That means at

there's neither minimum nor maximum.
The maximum must be then at either of the endpoints of the interval
![[-2,1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B-2%2C1%5D)
.
The function

is increasing in its entire domain, so the maximum value is at the right endpoint of the interval.
