PLEASE HELP ME WITH A CALC QUESTION! MEDAL FAN AND TESTIMONIAL!!
if f'>0 then f is increasing if f'<0 then f is decreasing --- all I was trying to get you to see is R looks like it is increasing so so R' ________ BUT I would like to add something after this...IT looks like R is increasing...There is no way to tell what is going in between t=0 to t=2 or t=2 to t=3 or t=3 to t=7 or t=7 to t=8. For all we know R' could be 0 there because maybe for some interval on t there might be a little constant function happening...
that was a black up there for you to fill the blank I'm still trying to get you fill in from yesterday
blank*
it would be decreasing?
use the fact if f'>0 then f is increasing if f is increasing then f'>0
oh increasing
positive
>0
the derivative tells us if the original function is increasing or decreasing
if the derivative is positive then the original is increasing if the derivative is negative the the original is decreasing
but I hope you understand that THE function only looks this way it doesn't mean it is
like for example we have no idea what is going on the interval (3,7)
like maybe our function looks like this: |dw:1421852892637:dw|
