Answer:
25/4 will have to be added to "complete the square"
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 5x - 18 = 0
x² - 5x = 18
Find the half of the coefficient of x and square it
(5/2)² = 25/4
Add 25/4 to both sides to complete the square
x² - 5x + 25/4 = 18 + 25/4
x² - 5x + 25/4 = 18(4/4) + 25/4
x² - 5x + 25/4 = 72/4 + 25/4
x² - 5x + 25/4 = (72+25)/4
x² - 5x + 25/4 = 97/4
(x - 5/2)² = 97/4
Find the square root of both sides
√(x - 5/2)² = ±√97/4
x - 5/2 = √97/2
x = √97/2 + 5/2 or x = -√97/2 + 5/2
x = 7.42443 or -2.42443
Small triangle : (1,4), (3,1), (3,4)
The x: (3,2)
The big triangle: (-3,3), (-1,5), (-2,1)
(For the big triangle that is only correct if the black dot is the mirror line)
The value of the derivative at the maximum or minimum for a continuous function must be zero.
<h3>What happens with the derivative at the maximum of minimum?</h3>
So, remember that the derivative at a given value gives the slope of a tangent line to the curve at that point.
Now, also remember that maximums or minimums are points where the behavior of the curve changes (it stops going up and starts going down or things like that).
If you draw the tangent line to these points, you will see that you end with horizontal lines. And the slope of a horizontal line is zero.
So we conclude that the value of the derivative at the maximum or minimum for a continuous function must be zero.
