Factor completely: x³ - 9x

Mathematics

Answer:

x(x + 3)(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

What we're given is a difference of squares multiplied by x.  If we start by factoring x out, we can simply expand the binomial:

x³ - 9x

= x(x² - 9)

= x(x + 3)(x - 3)

Any time you see an expression in the format a² - b², that is called a difference of squares, and can always be expanded out to (a + b)(a - b).  In this case, a is x, and b is 3.

Answer:

x(x+3)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor out common term x

=x(x^2-9)

Factor x^2-9;

(x+3)(x-3)

=x(x+3)(x-3)

Find the critical numbers of the function f(x) = x6(x − 1)5 what does the first derivative test tell you that the second derivat
patriot [66]
The given function is f(x) = x⁶(x-1)⁵

The first derivative is
f'(x) = 6x⁵(x-1)⁵ + 5x⁶(x-1)⁴
       = x⁵(x-1)⁴(6x - 6 + 5x)
       = x⁵(x-1)⁴(11x - 6)
The critical values are the zeros of f'(x). They are
x = 0, 6/11, and 1.
The critical values indicate that turning points exist for f(x) at the critical points. However, we do not know the nature of the turning points.

Write the first derivative in the form f'(x) = (x-1)⁴(11x⁶ - 6x⁵).
The second derivative is
f''(x) = 4(x-1)³(11x⁶ - 6x⁵) + (x-1)⁴(66x⁵ - 30x⁴)
        = (x-1)³(44x⁶ - 24x⁵ + 66x⁶ - 30x⁵ - 66x⁵ + 30x⁴)
        = (x-1)³(110x⁶ - 120x⁵ + 30x⁴)
        = 10x⁴(x-1)³(11x² - 12x + 3)
The sign of f''(x) at the critical values tell us the nature of the turning point.

f''(0) = 0, therefore a point of inflection exists at x = 0.
f''(6/11) > 0, therefore a local minumum exists at x = 6/11.
f''(1) = 0, therefore a point of inflection exists at x=1.

The graphs shown below confirm these results.
