\[f'(x)=2x^{4/5}(x-4)+(4/5)x^{-1/5}(x-4)^2\]\[\quad = (2/5)x^{-1/5}(x-4)[5x+2x-8)\]\[\quad = (2/5)x^{-1/5}(x-5)(7x-8)\]
three critical numbers x = 0 (vertical tangent line) and x = 5, 8/7 (horizontal tangent lines)
isnt't critical number is when y=0, x=0 and x=4..
those are roots. critical numbers are roots of the derivative, NOT roots of the given function
ahh.. and how do u know u need to take out 2/5 ? I know because it gives u whole number, but i have trouble deciding which number to take out in order to get a whole number
you don't have to take out any constant. your objective is to find the roots by setting the derivative to zero.
but u took out 2/5, if u dnt take it out, you have a bunch of fractions and cant factor things out to get critical numbers
not really. i can have \[x^{-1/5}(x-4)[2x+(4/5)(x-4)]\] setting each factor to zero, \[x=0\]\[x-4=0\]\[2x+(4/5)(x-4)=0\] the last equation yields x=8/7
oh ok thx! and can u refresh my mind on riemann sum as well?I think i forgot abt it already ..
my notes just look foriegn to me..
okay. what number would that be?
#4 and #10
I actually did #4 on the test , but now just completely forgot....
(+1)+(-1)+(+1)+(-1)+...+? (last term)
i=0 means start from 0 , so (-1)^0 = 1 , and continue i=1 (-1)^1 = -1 i=100 is (-1)^100 = 1 so answer would be A, 1 ?
since the last term didnt get cancelled out
yup
ok ty :D and #10 plz :)
C. constants can be moved before a summation.
why is E not true?
i thought the rieman sum of constant is always constant itself?
the right side has one term more than the left side.
what's that mean..? i dont really get those i=0 and i=1 ..
r u still here @@
