I have to complete a chart that indicates the sign(+ or -) for s(t), s'(t) and s"(t) at each point
I am going to try to upload the sketch because my drawing will not do it justice. Give me a moment.
:) Take your time
Ok
Sorry took so long, I had to look for it. I know how to fill out the second column neg, 0, positive, 0, negative because I am just looking for the signs of their slopes
Yes those are correct.
not sure how to fill out the first column
what am I looking for in the first column
Well first column just represents the Y-coordinate of the point.
well then they are positive correct since they are in the first quadrant?
Correct.
Now, for the third column ?
not sure what I am looking for at all, unless it is just concave up and concave down + for cc up and - for cc dn
Yes it is looking for this
so pos, pos, 0, neg, neg C is 0 because it is a point of inflection
Ok lets see: I am not sure about A. The slope is decreasing at A, so shouldn't it be -ve ?
The rest are absolutely correct.
Yes you are correct for that also. Sorry .
thanks, well I have to go get ready for work. I will continue my calculus journey afterwards. Thanks for all of your help.
:) Do not mention it. It was my pleasure to be of your help.
