Answer:
y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
On the graph, It says where x is -15, y is -2.
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
because since 60 is apart of 10
Can you explain the question in words please?
Step-by-step explanation:
oh, come on. you can just use common sense.
a local minimum is a point where the curve goes down to, and then turns around and starts to go up again. that point in the middle, where it turns around and does not go down any further, is the minimum.
for the maximum the same thing applies, just in the other direction (the curve goes up and turns around to go back down again).
a)
the local minimum values (y) are
-2, -1
b)
the values of x where it had these minimum values are
-1, +3
First of all, we compute the points of interest, i.e. the points where the curve cuts the x axis: since the expression is already factored, we have
Which means that the roots are
Next, we can expand the function definition:
In this form, it is much easier to compute the derivative:
If we evaluate the derivative in the points of interest, we have
This means that we are looking for the equations of three lines, of which we know a point and the slope. The equation
is what we need. The three lines are:
This is the tangent at x = -2
This is the tangent at x = 0
This is the tangent at x = 1
