Consider the following.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

g(x)=x\[\sqrt{2-x}\] Use a graphing utility to approximate the relative minimum or relative maximum value of the function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V2-x goes next to =x

OpenStudy (amistre64):

square roots dont have a relative min or max..... unless its their endpoints

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it does but the end point is not giving

OpenStudy (amistre64):

youre going to have to rewrite the question to make sense of it for us :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is infinitY/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[g(x)=\sqrt{2-x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and x is next to V2-x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is g(x)=xV(2-x)

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

domain is x<=2 relative maximum at x=4/3 i used calculus and set derivative equal to 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

relative maximum at x=4/3, why not a cordinate?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

to get y coordinate substitute 4/3 for x y = 4/3 * sqrt(2-4/3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you get, g(4/3)=4/3V(2-3/4)

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

you need to find a graphing calculator or grAPHING COMPUTER software to see it visually which i think is what the question is asking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, the is what it asking but like somebody above said, square root fuction don't have a maximun or minimum. Then how you find it?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

no they dont but g(x) does because it has the x out front of the sqrt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't got a graphing calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i search in the internet,but din't find any that could graph square root functions

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

try this http://www.graphcalc.com/download.shtml

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got a similar problem, with the answe,r wanna me to show you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am using schoool computer , cannot dowload the.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

ok, is this a calculus class?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pre

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

ok for last problem you def need the graph or plot the points from 0 to 2 to see the maximum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you dowload the graph program?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yeah i used it to graph your function:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the domain, is x<_2 , right?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yes here is the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, it looks different from what i thought it would be .

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

thats because of the x in front

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice., so what does the x do? slope>?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the point of the maximun

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

kinda, it changes the direction of the graph when sqrt(2-x) might be decreasing as x increases when you multiply by x, it increases to a point the max is the highest point on graph, x=4/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cordinate?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

i told you earlier, plug in 4/3 into function look at cursor position on right side of picture i left it at approx where the max is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it be (1.37,?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use trace on the graph, to find the highest point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use trace on the graph, to find the highest point.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yes something like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need the exact point.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

from a graph you will only get an approximate but thats all you need right now the exact answer i already told you max: (4/3, 4/3*sqrt(2-(4/3)))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't got a caclculator iwth me, bye, i will solve it when ig et home.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

wow y = 1.088
