sry, mistype, ill ask question now xP
help with the attached file will be GREATLY appreciated, ty~

Answer 3

take derivative of your function and equate it to 0. solve for x.

Answer 4

once you get x, substitute in f(x) and get the extrema

Answer 5

Hopefully you can recognize the graph of the function. (-1/x^2) is increasing as x increases and decreases as x decreases. So the maxima and minima are at the extremes of the intervals.

Answer 6

His in the right pace. Since this is in a closed interval we know that the absolute min and max must occur in a critical point ( when f'(x)=0) or in the end points. Once you have all your x values just plug it in to the original function f(x). The largest values is your absolute max and your smallest is the absolute min.

Answer 7

ok, i got the derivative which is --> 2/x^3
but that = 0 there is no solution

Answer 8

its alright, i got the answer.... using the derivative i found that within the domain there is no value which 'does not exist' or gives 'zero' so i plugged in x=0.25 and x=5 into the original formula and found the extrema.

Answer 9

that is absolutely right, as Romero said, Since this is in a closed interval we know that the absolute min and max must occur in a critical point ( when f'(x)=0) or in the end points.
