We want to see what can we say about f(x) extremes for the given information. We will see that the correct option is:

V: f has a relative minimum at x=-2 and a relative maximum at x=2.

<h3>Maximums and minimums.</h3>

A given function f(x) will have a maximum/minimum at x₀ if:

f'(x₀) = 0

  • It will be a maximum if f''(x₀) < 0
  • It will be a minimum if f''(x₀) > 0.

Here we do know that:

  • f'(x) = (x^2 - 4)*g(x)
  • g(x) < 0 for all numbers x.

Then the only zeros of f'(x) are when (x^2 - 4) = 0.

And this happens for x = 2 and x  = -2

Now let's see if these are minimums or maximums, we have:

f''(x) = 2*x*g(x) + (x^2 - 4)*g'(x)

If we evaluate this in x = 2, we get:

f''(2) = 2*2*g(2) + (2^2 - 4)*g'(2)

       = 4*g(2) + 0*g'(2) = 4*g(2)

And g(x) is always negative, then 4*g(2) < 0, then:

f''(2) < 0

Meaning that in x = 2 we have a relative maximum.

For x = -2 we have:

f''(-2) = 2*-2*g(-2) + ((-2)^2 - 4)*g'(-2)

       = -4*g(2) > 0

Then f''(-2) > 0, meaning that in x = -2 we have a relative minimum.

Then the correct option is:

V:  f has a relative minimum at x=-2 and a relative maximum at x=2.

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:it is composite

Step-by-step explanation:

it is composite because if there is say 60 people on the team and he divided the groups amongst three people in each group then it would be 20 groups now that isn't prime see so it would be the same thing if the basketball coach separates the team into 10 groups and there's 60 people on that team that's not a prime number that would be a composite number so the answer is composite A prime number would be there's eight people in each group and he separates them into a group so that means that They would be 64 people on that team Now the book that I'm looking at right now doesn't tell you the people on that team and how much people there are on that team but it says there is a different amount from The number of teams to the number of people in the team see there's like eight people in the team and there is for groups so that means two people in each group so That means that the answer would have to be composite and not prime hope this helped somebody.

You divide 14 by 2 to find the proportion (7) then multiply it by 1 to get the base length of the large triangle since they’re congruent.

If 1⁄50 of an amount is 12, what is 1⁄20?
Alika [10]
You start by changing both the a common denominator, this case it would be 100 so it’s 2/100 and 5/100, since 1/50 and 2/100 is the same, each 1/100 is equal to “6” and you have 5/100, which is EQUAL TO 30
