HELP (pic inserted)
the range is all the possible y values from - inf, inf. Look for intervals where the function ceases to exist.
try finding the max
can i just insert equation incalculator
you could graph it?
Or what @chris00 said, you can find the relative max by finding the derivative and setting it equal to 0. then find your x-values (crit point) and these will tell you terminals of increase and decrease for the range AND domain.
gd explanation!
um i dont understand
What do you get when you take the derivative?
im not good at math btw and deritivate of what?
Or better yet,do you know how to find the derivative?
no
Of \(\large f(x) =-6(x-1)^2 +1\)
Ok, so i'm going to show you a quick method of finding it. You can watch youtube videos on finding derivatves of the function to further help you solve the rest of your problems.
ok
You have \[\large f(x)-6(x-1)^2 +1\]\[\large \frac{d}{dx} [f(x)= -6(x-1)^2 +1\] Apply chain rule to \((x-1)^2\)\[\large f'(x) = -6\frac{d}{dx}[(x-1)^2 +1]\]\[\large -6(2)(x-1)(1)+0=0\] Simplify \(\large -12(x-1)=0\) solve for x.
If you have any further questions about how to find this derivative, @chris00 can assist you :) Good luck with your homework! And checkout these videos on derivatives https://www.khanacademy.org/math/calculus/differential-calculus/derivative_intro/v/calculus--derivatives-1
how do i solve for x?
this is for college btw -_-
and its kicking my retrice
@Jhannybean how am i suppose to solve for x? im confused :S
@whpalmer4 can you pleasee help me??
easy, \(\large -12(x-1)=0 \)
use factor theorem :- x-1 = 0 add 1 both sides x - 1 = 0 +1 +1 x = 1
next, substitute this value of x in f(x), you would get the max value for range
\(\large f(x) = -6(x-1)^2 +1\) put x = 1 \(\large f(x) = -6(1-1)^2 +1\) \(\large = ? \)
f(x)=−6(x−1)^2 +1 now it is always that for x is real,,(x-a)^2,(a is real no.) is always greater than or equal to zero... so here f(x)is lesser than or equal to 1...(for x belongs to all real values) so the upper limit is 1...and rest for all x,f(x) is lesser than one...so for all x belongs to real no. we have f(x) belongs to (-infinity to 1]...
Let f(x)=y \[y=-6\left( x-1 \right)^{2}+1=-6\left( x ^{2}-2x+1 \right)^{2}+1=-6x ^{2}+12x-6+1\] \[6x ^{2}-12x+\left( 5+y \right)=0\] \[x=\frac{ 12\pm \sqrt{12^{2}-4\left( -6 \right)\left( 5+y \right)} }{2*-6 }\] for x to be real discriminant ge 0 144+120+24y>=0 \[24y \ge -264\] \[y \ge \frac{ -264 }{ 24 },y \ge -11\] |dw:1372771938804:dw| \[range is [-11,\infty )\]
correction
\[x=\frac{ 12\pm \sqrt{12^{2}-4*6*\left( 5+y \right)} }{2*6 }\] discriminant=144-120-24y=24-24y \[24-24y \ge 0 ,-24y \ge -24,y \le \frac{ -24 }{-24 } or y \le 1\] \[Range is ( -\infty,1]\] |dw:1372772974412:dw|
