Answer 1

what did you get for a 1st derivative...?

Answer 2

you will also need a 2nd derivative

Answer 3

I have no clue how to even begin this problem

Answer 4

have you done calculus...?

Answer 5

no this problem is in my algebra 2 class

Answer 6

wow... do no differentiating... make it tough...

Answer 7

ok, do you have a graphing calculator or graphing software?

Answer 8

no I do not

Answer 9

A. The relative maximum is at (–1.53, 8.3) and the relative minimum is at (1.2, –12.01).

B. The relative maximum is at (–1.53, 12.01) and the relative minimum is at (1.2, –8.3).

C. The relative maximum is at (–1.2, 8.3) and the relative minimum is at (1.53, –12.01).

D. The relative maximum is at (–1.2, 12.01) and the relative minimum is at (1.53, –8.3).

Answer 10

those are my answer choices if that helps

Answer 11

thats fine, but if you don't know how to differentiate, or have a graphing application then the answers don't mean much.

type in graph... then your equation.

it will graphing for you.

the curve will look something like



hope this helps
