Part D on questions 2 and 3.
OpenStudy (legomyego180):
is this college cal I?
OpenStudy (mathmusician):
Yes it is

okay thanks
OpenStudy (legomyego180):
Im assuming it wants you to solve the derivative where h'(x)<0 but the a throws me for a loop.
OpenStudy (mathmusician):
Yes that is what it wants how do I do that
OpenStudy (legomyego180):
Well the derivative of h(x) is
h'(x)=1- a*sin(ax) where 0 < a < 4
so you would want to set this equal to
0 > 1-a*sin(ax)
and the values of a where this hold true would be your answer, however Im not sure how to do that without knowing x
OpenStudy (mathmusician):
Do you know @ijlal

that was the same thing i was thinking @legomyego180 as for a decreasing function the derivative is set <0 as the slope starts decreasing and dy/dx in this case h'(x) is decreasing so set it up as <0
\[1-asin(ax)<0\]
OpenStudy (mathmusician):
Yeah so do I simplify that equation or something else?
OpenStudy (ijlal):
Which values of a make h(x) strictly decreasing so i guess you should set x=1 as you did in part B and C to find the relative maximum and inflection point set x to 1 so,
\[1-asina<0\]
\[1<asina\]
OpenStudy (mathmusician):
Okay thanks how about for question 3?
OpenStudy (ijlal):
same part D?

Yep please :)
OpenStudy (ijlal):
kk let me have a look at it
OpenStudy (mathmusician):
OKay thanks
OpenStudy (ijlal):
Just use the slope formula use the points x=10 and x=14 to calculate the slope
