Hello There!
Once again we need to isolate the variable using inverse operations
to get rid of the -8.2 we add 8.2 to each side
-8.2+8.2 cancels out
-9.7+8.2=-1.5
now we have
-1.2z>-1.5
now we wan to get rid of the -1.2
to do so we want to divide each side by -1.2
Remember we have to flip the inequality sign because we're dividing by a negative number
we're left with
z<1.25
Answer:
x= -11/4 is a maximum.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that a function has its critical points where the derivative equal zero. Therefore we need to compute the derivative of this function and find the points where the derivative is zero. Using the chain rule and the product rule we get that
And then we get that if then
. So it has a critical point at
.
Now, if the second derivative evaluated at that point is less than 0 then the point is a maximum and if is greater than zero the point is a minimum.
Since
x= -11/4 is a maximum.
