Usually one will differentiate the function to find the minimum/maximum point, but in this case differentiating yields:
which contains multiple solution if one tries to solve for x when the differentiated form is 0.
I would, though, venture a guess that the minimum value would be (approaching) 5, since the function would be undefined in the vicinity.
If, however, the function is
Then differentiating and equating to 0 yields:
which gives:
or
We reject x=5 as it is when it ix the maximum and thus,
, for
Answer:
This sum is the sum of an arithmetic sequence. There is a formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence which can be looked up or derived by a variety of means.
A nice approach for this sequence is the following. Notice that the sum of first and last number in the sequence is the same as the sum of the second and second last, and also the same as the sum of the third and third last, and so on.
There are n of these pairs. So the desired sum is n x (first number + last number). But the first number is 1 and the last on is 2n. Thus the desired sum is n(1 + 2n).
Hope this helps!!

Step-by-step explanation:
Final result : -3
Step by step solution :Step 1 : 3 - a Simplify ————— 21 Equation at the end of step 1 : (a - 3) (3 - a) ——————— ÷ ——————— 7 21 Step 2 : a - 3 Simplify ————— 7 Equation at the end of step 2 : (a - 3) (3 - a) ——————— ÷ ——————— 7 21 Step 3 : a-3 3-a Divide ——— by ——— 7 21
3.1 Dividing fractions
To divide fractions, write the divison as multiplication by the reciprocal of the divisor :
a - 3 3 - a a - 3 21 ————— ÷ ————— = ————— • ——————— 7 21 7 (3 - a)
3.2 Rewrite (3-a) as (-1) • (a-3) Canceling Out : 3.3 Cancel out (a-3) which now appears on both sides of the fraction line.
Final result : -3

one
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-7=4+6+4x
3x=7+4+6+4x
3x=17+4x
3x-4x=17
-x=17
x=-17
