calc!

OpenStudy (wade123):

I got B, am i correct??

OpenStudy (adamaero):

nope, how many inflection pts do you think there are?

OpenStudy (adamaero):

This is mostly a definition problem: make sure you find out the definitions/pics for all the terms you don't know in the question bank!

OpenStudy (wade123):

oh wait i meant A! @adamaero i put the wrong one

OpenStudy (adamaero):

it automatically makes a notification to me (since I already replied to your post)

OpenStudy (adamaero):

define what concavity is define what an inflexion point is (or draw a pic) define what a relative max/min is (or draw pic) Then I will tell you the correct answer.

OpenStudy (wade123):

where it concaves

OpenStudy (wade123):

a point on a curve at which the sign of the curvature changes

OpenStudy (wade123):

the highest or lowest amount

OpenStudy (adamaero):

I hope you're using your own definitions using the word to define itself in a different form isn't really defining it for example define fishing - when one fishes http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/eps-gif/InflectionPoint_700.gif http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcI/MinMaxValues_files/image001.png http://www.geocities.ws/losineb/concav2.gif

OpenStudy (adamaero):

See the pics? Final educated guess?

OpenStudy (wade123):

yes

OpenStudy (wade123):

so was i right..

OpenStudy (wade123):

sorry if i answer late, i have to refresh the whole page and OS lags so i have to wait for it to refresh

OpenStudy (adamaero):

Final educated guess? All your previous guesses are wrong. I can no longer tell you if you're right since I don't think you're understanding. I don't give out answers, just the means to get them yourself. Unless you can explain your final answer, then I can not help you anymore. Look into these topics from khan academy or PatricJMT

OpenStudy (wade123):

i thought -1.5 would be the minimum though???

OpenStudy (wade123):

it is obviouslt C but i dont get why @adamaero

OpenStudy (adamaero):

awwww, the pictures say it all!

OpenStudy (wade123):

k no help , bye

OpenStudy (adamaero):

you know the difference between absolute and relative since the graph keeps going off in each direction--you have no idea what the absolute max or min is--but you can see the relative max and min

OpenStudy (adamaero):

relative = local http://patrickjmt.com/finding-intervals-of-increasedecrease-local-maxmins/
