Yay for trig equations.... lol f(x) = 2sec(x) + tan(x) f'(x) = 2sec(x)tan(x) + sec^2(x) Set this equal to zero to get the critical numbers 2sec(x)tan(x) + sec^2(x) = 0 You can easily factor out sec(x) to get sec(x)(2tan(x) + sec(x)) = 0 which gives us 2 equations sec(x) = 0 which isn't possible since sec(x) is never equal to zero 2tan(x) + sec(x) = 0 by converting to sines and cosines we get (2sin(x))/cos(x) + 1/cos(x) = 0 (2sin(x) + 1)/cos(x) since only the numerator matters for finding zeroes we now have 2sin(x) + 1 = 0 2sin(x) = -1 sin(x) = -1/2 Solve for x to get that our critical numbers are 7pi/6 and 11pi/6.

wow thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that was quick

OpenStudy (jziggy):

You had it posted in the last question so i had already written that up :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok last 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jziggy

OpenStudy (jziggy):

well, since f'(4) doesn't equal zero that would mean it isn't a critical number and therefore it can't be a minimum,maximum or point of inflection

OpenStudy (jziggy):

At least I think.... haven't seen a problem in this format for a while haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so that narrows it down to, none right?

OpenStudy (jziggy):

No, wait...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (jziggy):

Ok, I made a mistake in that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh :P

OpenStudy (jziggy):

if the second derivative = 0 and is less than 0 on one side and greater than zero on the other side it's an inflection point :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok sweet!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

last one :P

@hilbertboy96 Thank you for the help...just mention me in a question sometime on physics for english and i will be able to help for sure

OpenStudy (jziggy):

Again with the problems I've haven't done in a long time and this one looks complicated xD So, we want to maximize 2xy + 3xy + 3xy + 2xy which is equal to 10xy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :)

OpenStudy (jziggy):

Given the constraint, 8y +13x = 1040

OpenStudy (jziggy):

solving for y gives us 8y = 1040 - 13x y = (1040 - 13x)/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm it looks like 5x by 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would give us 10 x

OpenStudy (jziggy):

I don't trust pictures to be to scale :p
