Question

locate the absolute extrema of the given function on the indicated interval.
f(x)=2(3-x) interval [-1,2]

Answer 1

Lol.

Answer 2

could use a little help!

Answer 3

3 because it is with the x not before it or after it but with the problem

Answer 4

Are you sure the equation is correct?

Answer 5

JK i just guessed...

Answer 6

yes, i'm sure

Answer 7

r u positive it seems off

Answer 8

there may be no absolute

Answer 9

Because technically, it's a straight line!

Answer 10

yes, i understand it is. but i don't know what to do

Answer 11

-.- well i cant help u there let that indian dude help u

Answer 12

#NotIndian. -_-

Answer 13

i looked in the back of my book and it said the answer was minimum: (2,2) maximum: (-1,8). i just don't know how they get it

Answer 14

@satellite73

Answer 15

OOOOOH!

Answer 16

oh yay satellite is here :D

Answer 17

it is a line with a negative slope
biggest at the left hand endpoint
smallest at the right
even the indian dude knows that !

Answer 18

LMFAO

Answer 19

lol! yes, i understand it's a line. i just don't know how to locate the absolute extrema!

Answer 20

\[f(x)=6-2x\] on \([-1,2]\)largest is
\[f(-1)=8\] smallest is \(f(2)=2\)

Answer 21

@qtexpress101 it is only on the interval \([-1,2]\) and since the slope is negative, it is largest at the left, smallest at the right
that is all

Answer 22

Elaborate please.
@satellite73

Answer 23

woah that guys a genius

Answer 24

max is therefore 8, min is 2
don't forget this line does not go on forever, it only exists on that one interval

Answer 25

guy's *

Answer 26

yes he is O_O

Answer 27

saifoo is the genius, i am just the bengali side kick

Answer 28

How will you graph this? @satellite73

Answer 29

i just did

Answer 30

so for these type of equations i just distribute or find the derivative then plug in the intervals i am given?

Answer 31

lol.

Answer 32

noob

Answer 33

Oh! Now i get this.
We had to do nothing in this problem.

Stupid question makers just twist the words. -_-

Answer 34

no, there was not too much to this one was there?

Answer 35

nope. i guess i can say, derp.

Answer 36

NOOB = None Of Our Business.

Answer 37

so for this example: f(x)= (2x+5)/3 interval [0,5] i find the derivative?

Answer 38

No. Just insert the values and get max and min.

Answer 39

xD lol saifoo

Answer 40

If you open up the equation, it will look like:
\[f(x) = \frac23x + \frac53\]

Answer 41

cool story bro what chapter do u shut up

Answer 42

Last chapter. Unfortunately you have to read the whole book.

Answer 43

xD lololololol

Answer 44

interesting unless i nvr start reading the book and shove it down your throat instead... -.-

Answer 45

Answer 46

COME AT ME BRO!!! i will deck u in the face with a 22.

Answer 47

O_O dark.. i think you should stop... O_O

Answer 48

Unfortunately, it's an e-book. You can't shove it anywhere. WIN!

Answer 49

And, nah. I have better things to do than coming at you.
