Determine the derivative, all the critical numbers and the intervals of increase and decrease y=-5x²+20x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge y'=-10x+20\] \[\huge 0=-10x+20\] \[x=2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get : intervals of increase x<2 intervals of decrease x>2 but the answer key says the opposite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when \[y \prime >0, \] then increasing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's in intervals of increase / decrease tho?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got the same answer as you @burhan101 intervals of increase x<2 intervals of decrease x>2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x>2 it decreases x<2 it increases.

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Right...I as well @koymoi ...I think maybe your answer key is wrong @burhan101

OpenStudy (anonymous):
