Please help me on this one , seriously need help ,getting an incorrect answer \[\Large \frac{ (x-4)^{2005}(x+8)^{2008}(x+1) }{ x ^{2006}(x-2)^{3}(x+3)^{5}(x-6)(x+9)^{2010} } \le 0 \] HELLP
Let's break this shi*t into bits
So we will first find the critical points right
Hmm wait what exactly are we trying to find, all possible values of x?
Critical points:- Nuymerator: 4 , -8 , -1 Denominator: 0, 2 ,-3 , 6 , -9 Yes
Cool enough?
@Kainui
are you there @Kainui
The thing on the left is some function's derivative?
Ok I see what you're doing. I'm just really tired and sort of out of it, not really on OS it's just open I'm afraid to say.
we have to use wavy-curve method
no problem
@ganeshie8 @SithsAndGiggles
So you're just solving the inequality? The comment about critical points is kind of misleading
Find the domain of x , in math terms
what values x can take to satisfy the given inequality
Right... so the solution set to the inequality.
you may ignore the even exponents as they are not useful for signs
cant you just plug in points on either side of critical points (-8,-1,4) and see where function is less than 0
My main problem is would the expression be Positive or negative , by plugging 6 that is creating a big nuisancece
nuisance*
just try x=5 instead, x=6 is asymptote which goes to +- infinity
How do i represent it on a number line
