To make it easier say the number out loud. 26.2. Twenty six and two tenths. You could also say twenty six point two but the first way to say it makes it easier to write on paper though.
Twenty six and two tenths can also be reduced to twenty six and one fifth.
Twenty six and two tenths can also be reduced to twenty six and one fifth.
Answer:
The critical numbers/values are x = 0, 4/7, 2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a doozy; no wonder you have it up here for help!
The critical numbers of a function are found where the derivative of the function is equal to 0. To find these numbers, you have to factor the deriative or simply solve it for 0. This one is especially difficult since it involves rational exponents that have to be factored. But this is fun, so let's get to it.
First off, I am assuming that the function is
which involves using the product rule to find the derivative.
That derivative is
which simplifies down to
and
Let's get everything over the common denominator of 5 so we can easily add and subtract like terms:
Combining like terms gives us
This, however, factors so it is easier to solve for x. First we will set this equal to 0, then we will factor out
:
By the Zero Product Property, one of those terms has to equal 0 for the whole product to equal 0. So
when x = 0
And
when x = 2 and x = 4/7
Those are the critical numbers/values for that function. This indicates where there is a max value or a min value.
