What is the range, min, and max of the function f(x)=13-20x-x²-3x⁴

Naya [18.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

  • range: (-∞, 29.4336]
  • min: -∞
  • max: 29.4336

Step-by-step explanation:

I found these using a graphing calculator. (See attached)

The function is a polynomial of 4th degree with a negative leading coefficient. (The coefficient of the 4th-degree term is -3.) Therefore, it opens downward and has a range that extends to -∞. This function only has one global maximum and no local minimum.

_____

The maximum can be found by solving the cubic equation that results from taking the derivative of this function and finding the root of that:

  df/dx = -12x^3 -2x -20 = 0

There are formulas for the solutions of a cubic, but the one negative real root of this cubic can be found easily with a graphing calculator using iteration:

  x ≈ -1.13879908894.

Dividing by -2, the above derivative function can be written as ...

  g(x) = 6x^3 +x +10

The one real zero of it can be found using Newton's Method iteration.

The Newton's Method iterator function is

  h(x) = x - g(x)/g'(x)

where g'(x) is the derivative of g(x), often available as a function on the graphing calculator.

The starting value for the iteration can be the x-value obtained from the graph: -1.139. It only takes about 2 or 3 iterations to find x to the precision of the calculator: x = h(h(x)). This x is the x-coordinate of the maximum, so f(x) is the maximum value: 29.4335546516.

__

The attachments show the function definitions and their use for finding the maximum of f(x) using a TI-84 calculator. Y₁ is the function f(x); Y₂ is its derivative, shown above as g(x). Y₃ is the iterating function, shown above as h(x). The nDeriv( ) function is a calculator function that finds the numerical derivative of its argument.

 A negative exponent just means that the base is on the wrong side of the fraction line, so you need to flip the base to the other side.

For example

x^{-2}=\frac{1}{x^2}

or

( \frac{2}{5} )^{-4}=( \frac{5}{2} )^4

***************************************
(8r^{-5})^{-3}

(8* \frac{1}{r^5} )^{-3} \\\\( \frac{8}{r^5} )^{-3}
 \\  \\ ( \frac{r^5}{8} )^3
\\\\ \mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad *\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^c=\frac{a^c}{b^c} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \   *(a^b)^c=a^{bc}
 \\\\( \frac{r^{15}}{8^3} )
\\\\( \frac{r^{15}}{512} )

The answer is "D"

pishuonlain [190]
It's the first answer choice.
Steps:
-3x^2y^2x^4
(Apply the exponent rule)
x^4x^2 = x^2+4 = x^6

= -3x^6y^2

2)  

x^2 - 14x - 32  = x^2 - 16x + 2x - 32  = x(x-16) + 2(x-16) = (x - 16)(x + 2)

<h2>⇒   x^2 - 14x - 32  = (x - 16)(x + 2)</h2>

---------

3)  

2n^2 - 7n - 15  =

= 2n^2 - 10n + 3n - 15 =

=  2n(n - 5) + 3(n - 5) =

= (n - 5)(2n + 3)

<h2>⇒ 2n^2 - 7n - 15  = (n - 5)(2n + 3)</h2>

---------

4)  

<h2> x^2 - 25 = (x - 5)(x + 5)</h2>
