solve f(x)=2 by the function f(x)=x^3-3x^2+3x
This problem is asking you what x is when f(x) is 2. Start by setting your equation equal to 2.
solve x^3-3x^2+3x-2=0
solved it.so the formula was x^3-3x^2+3x x=3x^2-6x=3x f(x)=6x-6+3 f'(x)=6x-6=0+3 0+3=3 thus,f'(x)=3
there may have been a bit of info i left out.it was a table with all the x,f(x) and f'(x) values.
i had to solve f'(x) when f(x)=2 while using the function mentioned.
hey,guys,could you help me out with understanding the question?
Hey @nck93 we are given f(x)=2 and f(x) is defined as x^3-3x^2+3x so \[f(x)=x^3-3x^2+3x\] and for a particular value of x f(x) is 2
yeah,i get that.i understand solving x and f(x), but not f'(x).like in the attachment the value for f'(x) is not given,but the value for for f(x) is 2 the same on the left side,but with 0,how do i solve that?
Wait I'm going through attachement
x=0 we have \[ f(x)=x^3-4x^2+3x\] put x=0 we get \[f(0)=0\] that's why table mentions f(x)=0 for x=0 now differentiate with respect to x \[f'(x)=3x^2-8x+3\] put x=0 to find f'(x) at x=0
ah,now i get it.thanks alot =)
welcome:)
im using 3x^2-8x+3 as 3(0)^2-8(0)+3 is that right?
Yeah:)
sorry 3(0) i think you noted the question down wrong. its +3x in the end,not 3.
oh wait,my mistake.that after differentiation..
its f(x)= x^3-3X^2+3x you wrote x^3-4x^2+3x
Sorry \[f'(x)=3x^2-6x+3\] now put x=0 to find f'(x) at x=0
Np,thanks.
welcome:)
