please help me asap calculus

satellite73:

inflection points where the derivative is zero

iwanttogotostanford:

so 0, 1, AND 2?? @satellite73

Zarkon:

no

Zarkon:

you need to find the locations where f''(x)=0. ie the derivative of the derivative is zero

satellite73:

oops no is right

iwanttogotostanford:

@steve816

iwanttogotostanford:

@Zarkon please

iwanttogotostanford:

would it be 1.5

Zarkon:

Find the places where the first derivative is a max or min (those are places where f'' is zero)

iwanttogotostanford:

oops i meant !

iwanttogotostanford:

1

iwanttogotostanford:

i know can you please show me I'm still confused

Zarkon:

1.5 is one answer...there is another

iwanttogotostanford:

i see by 0.5 definitely... but someone told me 1.5 and 0.5 was wrong ugh they were probably messing with me -.-

Zarkon:

probably

iwanttogotostanford:

iwanttogotostanford:

oh ok and I'm not sure i have my work not with me I'm just checking them over

Zarkon:

2nd one is ok...1st is not

Zarkon:

\[s'(t)=t^2-12t+36=(t-6)^2\ge0\]

iwanttogotostanford:

oh yikes ok would it be C then./..

iwanttogotostanford:

oh yikes ok... would it be C then??

Zarkon:

no

iwanttogotostanford:

ok... what then if you don't mind me being direct.?

Zarkon:

D

Zarkon:

the derivative is never negative..so it doesn't go to the left

iwanttogotostanford:

oh wow ok thank you... i would've gotten that wrong
