for the first one, i got 14x/2x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It's increasing when \(f'(x)>0\) and decreasing when \(f'(x)<0\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What is your derivative?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got 14x/2x

No, you must use the quotient rule.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[
(f/g)'=(f'g-fg')/g^2
\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ohhh!! I forgot about that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got
\[\frac{ (7x^2)(2x)-(x^2+4)(14x) }{ (x^2+4)^2 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I dont know if I should simplify?

You did the wrong derivatives...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It's close but the top terms are in the wrong order.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Then you gotta expand
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ (14x)(x^2+4)-(7x^2)(2x) }{ (x^2+4)^2 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah. Now you want to expand the numerator (we don't worry about the denominator). We need to find the root of the numerator because it is the root of the whole thing.

\[\frac{ 56x }{ (x^2+4)^2 }\]i got
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is that after you expanded it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Alright. So clearly the root for the numerator is \(0\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
root? ok

Basically is it where \(f'(x)=0\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok,
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what's next?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to find critical number?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
We did...

Do i pulg some number to solve then , from that find out max and min?
