h(x) = (x-1)sqrt(x) what is the relative minimum or maximum?

Ahhhhhhh!! Look at that cute little bunny! \:D/ my head is going to esplode!!! Ok ok ok, so what do we need to do here? Some stuff with derivatives yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, no derivatives

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I haven't gotten there yet... :P Thanks. I like Mr. Bun too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I graphed it and I don't know if it has a min or max

zepdrix (zepdrix):

How are you supposed to solve this problem without derivation? Oh graphing is allowed?

|dw:1378757232150:dw| looks like that @zepdrix

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Yah, here's a nice pretty graph. https://www.desmos.com/calculator/ldhybblfsi You should be able to pinpoint the minimum pretty easily on this graph.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

If you hold down your mouse button along the red curve, it should give you a black dot where the minimum is.

oh, thanks! I didn't see that on my old clunky calculator. Gotta love Desmos.
