Differentiating \( g(x) \) gives \( g'(x) = 2px + q \). If \( g'(x) = 2x + 6 \), then comparing coefficients, \( 2p = 2 \) implies \( p = 1 \), and \( q = 6 \)
Inspect the graph to determine the intervals where the slope of the tangent (derivative \( f'(x) \)) is positive (increasing) and negative (decreasing). The derivative provides information on the nature of \( f(x) \) at different intervals.
Calculate \( f'(x) \) and evaluate at \( x = 1 \) to find slope. Equation: \( y - 1.5 = m(x - 1) \) where \( m = f'(1) \). Interpret slope to understand the rate of change of \( f(x) \) at this point.
Start with the profit expression: \( P = 160,000x - 4000x^2 - 1,500,000 \). Differentiate \( P \) with respect to \( x \) to get \( P'(x) = 160,000 - 8,000x \). Set \( P'(x) = 0 \) to find \( x \) for maximum profit. Solve \( 8,000x = 160,000 \), giving \( x = 20 \). Substitute \( x = 20 \) back into the profit equation to verify the maximum.
First, differentiate to find \( f'(x) = 3x^2 + 14x - 5 \). Set \( f'(x) = 0 \) to find critical points by solving \( 3x^2 + 14x - 5 = 0 \). Use the quadratic formula to find \( x \). Then, determine \( f''(x) = 6x + 14 \). Evaluate \( f''(x) \) at critical points to classify them using the second derivative test.
Differentiate both functions: \( f'(x) = 2x \) and \( g'(x) = 1 \). Set the gradients equal: \( 2x = 1 \), thus \( x = 0.5 \)
Identify points where the derivative \( f'(x) \) is zero as these are points where the gradient of the tangent is horizontal, indicating potential local maxima, minima, or inflection points.
Observe \( f'(x) \) at each point. Typically, \( f'(x) \) decreases from B to C if C is a local maximum. From C to D, \( f'(x) \) starts to increase if D is a local minimum. Evaluate \( f'(x) \) to confirm changes.
Since \( g(x) \) is quadratic, the minimum value occurs where \( g'(x) = 0 \). Solve \( 2px + q = 0 \), calculate \( g(x) \) at resulting \( x \), and compare to verify minimum value of -12. Use vertex form or complete the square method to support findings.
