- If f(x)=x3+1, then a the value of f at x=-1 is f()=. b the value of f at x=2 is f()=. c the net change in the value of f between x = - 1 and x =2 is f()f()=.arrow_forwardIf xis large, which function grows faster, f(x)=2x or g(x)=x2?arrow_forwardFind all function values f(x) such that the distance from f(x) to the value 8 is less than 0.03 units. Express this using absolute value notation.arrow_forward
- The graph of the derivative of the function f(x) is given. List all intervals where f(x) is increasing and decreasing. a) f(x) is increasing: b) f(x) is decreasing:arrow_forwardFor each function, use our techniques to sketch the graph. Include asymptotes, at least one intercept,and a derivative chart. y=x/x-1 y=x2/x2+3 y=2(sqrt(x))-3arrow_forwardUse the derivative f′(x)=(x−5)(x+1)(x+5) to determine the local maxima and minima of f and the intervals of increase and decrease. Sketch a possible graph of f (f is not unique).arrow_forward
- Choose the correct answer. By definition, we call a function differentiable at a closed interval [a, b] if it has: [a right-hand derivative, a derivative, a left-hand derivative] at every point in the open interval (a, b), [a right-hand derivative, a derivative, a left-hand derivative] at the endpoint a, and [a right-hand derivative, a derivative, a left-hand derivative] at the endpoint b.arrow_forwardConsider the following function. f(x) = x/x2-25 (a) Make a sign diagram for the first derivative. x= x= (b) Make a sign diagram for the second derivative. x= x= x= (c) Sketch the graph, showing all relative extreme points and inflection pointsarrow_forwardDetermine the open intervals on which the graph of the function is concave upward or concave downward. (Enter your answers using interval notation. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) f(x) = x2 + 1 x2 − 1arrow_forward
- The graph of the derivative f' of a function f is shown. a) On what intervals in f increasing or decreasing? b)At what values of x does f have a local maximum or minimum?arrow_forwardGiven that f(x)=1/(x^2-4) and the derivative is =-2x/(x^2-4)^2 , use methods of calculus to: a)use interval notation to identify where f(x) is increasing and b)use interval notation to identify where f(x) is decreasing and c) find all relative max/min points (both x and y values), if they exist.arrow_forwardDetermine the open intervals on which the graph of the function is concave upward or concave downward.
