- prove that f(x)=3x^3-4x^2-x-3 is continuous over [-3,3] give an example of a function f whose third derivative exist at x=o but whose fourth derivative does not.arrow_forwardfind the derivative of the function f(x)=x^2 -2x using the definition of the derivative (a process that requires a limit)arrow_forwardFind the local maximum and minimum values of the function f(x)=-x-(25/x). using the Second Derivative Test.arrow_forward
- Find the derivative of g(x)= (x+1)/(x+2) using th limit definition.arrow_forwardUsing the limit definitoin of the derivative, comput the derivative of the function. x^3+3x^2+x+3 b) Which positions x does the graph of y=x^3+3x^2+x+3 have a horizontal tangent line?arrow_forward2-22 Differentiate the function: f(x) = log10(√x ) ? Please show work along with the rule used for derivatives of logs - Thank you!arrow_forward
- Find the x-value for all relative extrema of f(x) using the first derivative test. f(x) = 1 + x + x2 / x2 + x − 2 (this is a fraction) Specify whether the x-value corresponds to a relative maximum or a relative minimum.arrow_forward2. Consider the function f(x) = x^2 -x +1 / x^2+1 If you were asked to find all the relative extrema of the function, would you prefer using the first or second-derivative test? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward5,6 use derivative rules to find f1(x)arrow_forward
