PLEASE HELP ME WITH CALCULUS!!!!
the question is....?
MAX and MIn- f(x) = x^3/ x + 2 I= [-1,1]
It's something like this, you need to derivate it, when the derivative equals zero, thats a maximus or minimum value of the func. So d/dx(f) = ((x+2)3x^2 + x^3)/(x+2)^2 That, equals zero, solve and check what do you get.
\[f(x)=\frac{x^3}{x+2}\] \[f'(x)=\frac{2x^2(x+3)}{(x+2)^2}\] zeros are 0 and -3, but only 0 is in your domain
If the second derivative, at that point, is negative, then it's a maxima
Oh right, somethink like that
Uhmm, look to the right and then to the left, is an inflection point
you don't need the second derivative for this problem you are asked for a max and min on a closed interval. check \[f(-1),f(0),f(1)\] mas is the max, min is the min, that is all
