the derivitive is just the slope
minimum happens when the derivitive goes from negative to positive, imagine a slope of the function, the minimum is where the slope goes from neative to positive, and to get there, it has to pass through 0
max happens when the derivitive goes from positive to negative
increaseing is when the derivitive is positive
so, based on what you said, the slope of f(x) is 0 at x=-3, x=1 and x=2 since those are where the derivitive is 0 (derivitive is just the slope)
A and B are wrong because the derivitive isn't 0 at those points
C is correct because increasing means that the derivitive is positive, and so therefo since the only hoirontal place in between 1 and 2 is 1.5, it must remain positive throughout and not dip down, C is right
D is wrong then
answer is C
5^3(5^x) the rule is a^b(a^c)=a^(b+c)
5^(3+x)
Answer: A=20.8, B=20.5, C=10, D=2, E=12.6
Explanation: It takes time, but all you have to do it make an equation adding all the sides together, which equals 85.9. Then find “a” and plug that back in to each side. (I’m pretty sure this is right, but sorry if I’m wrong)
Answer:
You should use photomath, it would be more easier for u. Oh, and by the watñy Y=12
