A method for determining whether a critical point is a minimum. True or false?

Mathematics
1 answer:
natita [175]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

We can find if a critical point is a local minimum or maximum by looking at the second derivatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the first derivative, you will find the slope at the given point, which if it is a minimum or a maximum will be 0.

Then we take the second derivative. If that number is a positive number, then we have a local minimum. If it is a negative number, then it is a local maximum.

Which of the following correctly uses absolute value to show the distance between −50 and 12?
Softa [21]

Answer:

 62 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number A is the positive distance between 0 and the number A (you can think this distance as the distance measured with a ruler from 0 to the number). For example:

|-2|=2 ,  |25|=25,  |-3|=3, |-25.3|=25.3

Note that the absolte value is always positive.

The distance between two numbers P,Q in the real line is the absolute value of the difference between the two points:

Hence, the distnce between P=-50 and Q=12 is equal to
