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.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

The student added the discount instead of subtracting the discount.

They also did not calculate the tax correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price is 499

Discount = original price * percent off

Discount = 499 * .18

               =89.82

The sale price = original price minus the discount

sale price = 499-89.82

sale price = 409.18

Sales tax = sale price * tax rate

                = 409.18 * 8.875%

                =409.18*.08875

                 =36.314725

Rounding to the nearest cent

                     36.31

Final cost = sale price + sales tax

                  =409.18+36.31

                   445.49

The student added the discount instead of subtracting the discount.

They also did not calculate the tax correctly.
