- Does a Limiting Value Occur? A rocket ship is flying away from Earth at a constant velocity, and it continues on its course indefinitely. Let D(t) denote its distance from Earth after t years of travel. Do you expect that D has a limiting value?arrow_forwardThe origin is a critical point for the function f(x, y) = 15 − x^2y^2 and ∆(x, y) = 0 there, i.e.,the Second Derivative Test fails. Use what you know about shapes of functions to decide ifthere is a local minimum, local maximum, or saddle point for this function at (0, 0).arrow_forwardFind the x-coordinates of all critical points of the given function. Determine whether each critical point is a relative maximum, a relative minimum, or neither, by first applying the second derivative test, and, if the test fails, by some other method. g(x) = 2x3 − 24x + 8 Step 1 Recall that a critical point is any interior point x in the domain of f where f '(x) = 0 or f '(x) is not defined. To find the critical points of g(x), first find the first derivative g'(x). Since g(x) = 2x3 − 24x + 8, then g'(x) = x2 − 24.arrow_forward

If by second derivative test, if x = a is a critical point of f(x) and f''(a) > 0, then (a, f(a)) is a point of local minimum. Can you explain why my answer is wrong?Thank you so much!arrow_forwardDetermine the critical point of the function and use the critical studied to classify it(s) as a maximum, minimum or saddle point.

- I'm currently learning how to find critical points and to determine the local max and minimum. I also learned to determine when the function is increasing and decreasing using intervals, but I'm having a hard time to find the first & second derivative for the function below. I want to make sure I'm in the right path for both the 1st and 2nd deriv. I will try to find the local max and minimum on my own. Ty. y = x^5/3 - 5(x)^2/3arrow_forward(a) For the following functions, (1) find the critical values and (2) determine if at these points the function is at a relative maximum, relative minimum, inflection point, or saddle point. (I) f (x, y) = 60 + (x-y)3 + (y-1)3 (II) f (x, y) = 2 + x2 + y2arrow_forward4.The derivative of a function f is given by f'(x)=(-2x-2)e^x, and f(0) = 3.A. The function f has a critical point at x = -1. At this point, does f have a relative minimum, a relative maximum, or neither? Justify your answer.B. On what intervals, if any, is the graph of f both increasing and concave down? Explain your reasoning.C. Find the value of f(-1).arrow_forward
