can some please explain... if the function g is defined as g(x) = (t squared - 3t-4) dt on the interval [-7,5], then g(x) has a local minimun at x=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to find the critical numbers, by obtaining the derivaitve and setting it to zero. Then you have to test those numbers, as well as the end points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take it this is \[g(x)=\int_{-7}^x t^2-3t-4 dt\] right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, ok so i have to test 3/2, -7, and 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what lagrange said. take the derivative, get \[g'(x)=x^2-3x-4\] by FT of C then set = 0 and solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah so is the derivative or that 2x -3? so then thats 3/2 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is t squared -3x-4 already the derivative? because i have mult choice answers and they are -7, -4, -1, 1, and 4
