- f(x) = (x2-x-1) e-x is restricted to the domain x ≥ 0 and it has two critical points. One at x = 0 and the other at x = 3 At what value x does f(x) attain its maximum?arrow_forward1. Sketch f(x) = x^3-5.00x^2+1.01x+1.88, showing the roots near+-1 and 5. Write: x = g(x) = (5.00x^2-1.01x-1.88) (x^2) Find the root starting from x0 = 5,4,1,-1. Explain the results. Find a form x = g(x) of f(x) = 0 in problem 1 that yields convergence to the root near x=1.arrow_forward8. Find the equation of the tangent line and the normal line at the point corresponding to the given value of x . 10. Find the critical points of f(x)= x^3 - 3x^2 and identify the intervals on which f is increasing and on which f is decreasing.arrow_forward
- Consider the function f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 5 + lnx The function admits a single root located in the interval [1,2]. Consider the following method of fixed point xn+1 = h(xn) with h(xn)= xn − yf(xn), (y > 0) . For which values of y, this method converges to the root.arrow_forwardUse a graph below of f(x) = ln (3x^2 +1) to estimate the x-values of any critical points and inflection points of f(x).arrow_forwardFind the absolute minimum and absolute maximum of f(x)=ln(x2+10x+16) over the interval [0,4]arrow_forward
- 2. Give an example showing that, even if f0(c) = 0, it could happen that f(x) does not have a localmaximum or minimum at x = c. How is this consistent with Fermat’s Theorem in the book?arrow_forwardA-Find the local minimum and maximum of f(x)=xe^3x using the first and second derivative test. B-Find the value of a so that the function f (x) = xeax has a critical point at x = 3.arrow_forwardThe sales of a book publication are expected to grow according to the functionS = 300000(1 − e−0.06t),where t is the time, given in days. (i) Show using differentiation that the sales never attains an exact maximum value.(ii) What is the limiting value approached by the sales function? A town has a population of 5000 persons, but is expected to grow by 2% every year.(i) What would be the population size in 7 years? (ii) Find the sum of the first eight terms of the sequence 1/8, -1/4, 1/2..arrow_forward
- evaluate the limit: limit of the square root of 1+t - square root of 1-t / t as t approaches 0arrow_forwardSolve for (A, B) so that f has a limit at both x=2 and x=4. f(x)=3x+4 for x>=4 f(x)=Ax+B for 2<x<4 f(x)=-2x+3 for x<=2arrow_forwardFind the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f on the given interval. f(x) = ln(x2 + 5x + 13), [−3, 1]arrow_forward
