Accepted Answer

To find the absolute maximum of the function $f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - x$ on the interval $[-10, 2]$, we first find its critical points by taking the derivative and setting it equal to zero. The derivative is $f'(x) = 3x^2 - 2x - 1$. Solving $3x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0$ does not give any critical points that fall within the interval $[-10, 2]$. Therefore, the absolute maximum must occur at one of the endpoints of the interval. Evaluating the function at these endpoints, we get $f(-10) = -10^3 - (-10)^2 - (-10) = -1000 + 100 + 10 = -890$ and $f(2) = 2^3 - 2^2 - 2 = 8 - 4 - 2 = 2$. Since $2 > -890$, the absolute maximum value of the function on the interval $[-10, 2]$ is $2$, which corresponds to choice H.

F) $8 + \sqrt { 3 } , 8 + 6 \sqrt { 3 }$

G) $\sqrt { 3 } , 8$

H) $\sqrt { 3 } , 8 + 6 \sqrt { 3 }$

Accepted Answer

To find the minimum and maximum values of $y = x^3 - 9x + 8$ on the interval $[-3,1]$, we first find the derivative $y' = 3x^2 - 9$. Setting $y' = 0$ gives $x^2 = 3$, so $x = \pm \sqrt{3}$. Only $x = -\sqrt{3}$ is within the interval $[-3,1]$. Evaluating $y$ at $x = -\sqrt{3}$, the endpoints $-3$ and $1$, we find the minimum and maximum values. $y(-\sqrt{3}) = 0$, $y(-3) = -8$, and $y(1) = 0$, but since $-8$ is not an option and considering the behavior of the cubic function, the minimum value on the given interval is $0$ (at $x = -\sqrt{3}$) and the maximum value is $y(1) = 0 + 8 = 8$. However, this overlooks the correct calculation for the maximum value, which actually occurs at $x = -3$ or $x = 1$, where $y(-3) = -27 - 27 + 8 = -46$ and $y(1) = 1 - 9 + 8 = 0$. The correct maximum value provided in the options is $8 + 6\sqrt{3}$, which is a miscalculation in this explanation. The correct approach involves evaluating the function at critical points and endpoints to find the actual minimum and maximum values within the interval. The correct maximum value, upon reevaluation, should consider the function's value at critical points and the endpoints accurately.

Question 9

Find all critical numbers for the function $f ( x ) = \sqrt [ 3 ] { 9 - x ^ { 2 } }$ .
A)0
B)-3
C)0, -3
D)No Critical Number
E)3
F)3, -3
G)0, 3, -3
H)None of the above

Accepted Answer

The critical numbers occur where the derivative is zero or undefined. The derivative of $f(x)$ is undefined at $x = 3$ and $x = -3$, and it is zero at $x = 0$.

Question 10

A)4
B)1
C)8
D)3
E)2
F)9
G)6
H)5

Accepted Answer

The critical numbers are found by setting the derivative $f'(x) = 3x^2 - 3$ to zero, giving $x^2 = 1$, so $x = \pm 1$. The distance between these critical numbers is $|1 - (-1)| = 2$.

Question 11

E)3
F)3, -3
G)0, 3, -3

Accepted Answer

The critical numbers occur where the derivative is zero or undefined. The function $f(x) = |x^2 - 9|$ has critical points where $x^2 - 9 = 0$ (i.e., $x = 3$ or $x = -3$) and where the derivative changes due to the absolute value, which is at $x = 0$.

E)8
F)1, -1

H)None of the above

Accepted Answer

Critical numbers occur where the derivative of the function equals zero or is undefined. For $f(x) = x^3 - 12x^2$, the derivative is $f'(x) = 3x^2 - 24x$. Setting this equal to zero gives $3x^2 - 24x = 0$, which simplifies to $x^2 - 8x = 0$ or $x(x - 8) = 0$. Thus, the critical numbers are $x = 0$ and $x = 8$.

Accepted Answer

The minimum value of the function $f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 2$ occurs at the vertex of the parabola represented by this quadratic equation. The x-coordinate of the vertex can be found using the formula $-\frac{b}{2a}$, where $a = 1$ and $b = -2$ in this case. Plugging these values into the formula gives $-\frac{-2}{2(1)} = 1$, indicating that the minimum occurs at $x = 1$.
