@freckles i got another question like that(:

OpenStudy (freckles):

@mondona you should look at your last question. I don't think you are through with it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i used my notes i got it, sorry my pretest is timed

OpenStudy (freckles):

Well we can go through the possible combinations like @amistre64 did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okok

OpenStudy (freckles):

Start off with A if you want to

OpenStudy (freckles):

and see it works that way

OpenStudy (freckles):

So A starts increasing to about what number?

OpenStudy (freckles):

like at what x does it stop increasing? And we are reading from left to right..

OpenStudy (freckles):

And I'm looking for the first stop.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.5

OpenStudy (freckles):

of that means the derivative function at that point would be 0 since you have a resting point there

OpenStudy (freckles):

Do you see any of your graphs touching the x-axis at 1.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just A

OpenStudy (freckles):

wait A stops increasing at .7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no it is not

OpenStudy (freckles):

not 1.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh oops

OpenStudy (freckles):

and i'm just approximating

OpenStudy (freckles):

so let me rephrase my question so the derivative function at x=.7 should be touching the x-axis at that point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see

OpenStudy (freckles):

Now I'm not saying we have the correct order yet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okk

OpenStudy (freckles):

But it does look like B is doing what at .7?

OpenStudy (freckles):

or i mean what is the y value there at x=.7 (for curve B)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know..

OpenStudy (freckles):

Isn't the B curve passing through the x-axis at x=.7?

OpenStudy (freckles):

That would mean the y-value is 0.

OpenStudy (freckles):

So if we assume A'=B Do you think B'=C? Test it and see.

OpenStudy (freckles):

if you want look the critical numbers of B first since B is smooth and continuous then all of its critical numbers will be x-intercepts for C but are they?

OpenStudy (freckles):

If not ABC is not the right order

OpenStudy (freckles):

And it isn't the right order you need to move on to test CAB

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is CAB

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ABC is not the right order

OpenStudy (freckles):

How do you know CAB is correct? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tested it the way we tested it before(:

OpenStudy (freckles):

coolness

OpenStudy (freckles):

That choice actually looks good
