Given f '(x) = (x − 4)(6 − 2x), find the x-coordinate for the relative minimum on the graph of f(x). 8 6 3 None of these

@Burak mind helping w one more :)

OpenStudy (burak):

Sure :)

OpenStudy (brookemariexx):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (burak):

relative minimum and relative maximum are where f'(x) = 0

OpenStudy (burak):

integers that make f'(x) = 0 are 3 and 4

OpenStudy (brookemariexx):

Aw okay I got it now, thanks you're the best!

OpenStudy (burak):

wait

OpenStudy (burak):

you have to make sure which one is minimum. I think answer is 4 (none of these)

OpenStudy (brookemariexx):

Hm, so you say D is the answer then?

OpenStudy (burak):

Yes because if you put 5 f'(x) is still negative which means f(x) is decreasing

OpenStudy (burak):

oh wait i messed up lol. give me a sec

OpenStudy (brookemariexx):

No worries

OpenStudy (brookemariexx):

When i set the equation to zero i got x = 4 and x = 3 as well

OpenStudy (burak):

Answer is 3

OpenStudy (brookemariexx):

Alright thanks!
