Question

Find the relative maximum of the function f(x)=-8+4x-3x^2 -0.5x^3

Answer 1

Can you take the derivative of it for us?

Answer 2

@reginacoleman1976 , can you differentiate f(x) with respect to x ?

Answer 3

m(x)=-8+4x-3x^2-0.5x^3

Answer 4

That's the original equation that you posted.

Answer 5

No no that's not I meant.

I want you to differentiate f(x).

You have studied calculus, right ?

Answer 6

yes that's all he gave us and told us to find the increase, decrease, relative max, and relative min

Answer 7

I've never had calculus

Answer 8

precalc?

Answer 9

nope

Answer 10

What are you then?

Answer 11

I'm in College Algebra

Answer 12

That is definitely not algebra. o.o taking derivatives is calculus.

Answer 13

lol I don't know what it is but it is hard.
