OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one looks like one with multiple critical points?

OpenStudy (danjs):

which # you want to do

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Try some of the even numbered ones. They're usually (most of the time) harder.

OpenStudy (danjs):

x^2(6-x) will have more than 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no even number ones. im on a time crunch and the hw assignment is on the odd numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (danjs):

25) g(x) = x^2 * (6-x)

OpenStudy (danjs):

First, find the 2 derivatives

OpenStudy (anonymous):

g'(x) = 12x-2x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (danjs):

g ' (x) = 12x - 3x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait are you sure?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

I think whenyou multiplied \(x^2 \cdot (-x)\) you mutliplied it as \(x \cdot (-x)\).

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[g(x) = x^2(6-x)\]\[g(x) = 6x^2 -x^3\]\[g'(x) = 12x - 3x^2 \checkmark\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay

OpenStudy (danjs):

solve g ' (x) = 0, for values of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=0 and x= 6

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

This might help you.

OpenStudy (danjs):

test a number in each of those intervals and see if g '(x) is + or -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one second

OpenStudy (danjs):

wait a second, i just looked back at things g ' (x) = 12 x - 3x^2 0 = 12x-3x^2 = 3x ( 4 - x) x = 4 or x= 0

|dw:1421034999723:dw|

OpenStudy (danjs):

g ' ( -1) = -15 (-) decreasing g ' ( 1) = (+) increasing g '( 5) = (-) decreasing
