    MHB How Do You Find the Absolute Min and Max of a Function on a Triangular Region?

    Thank you! Okay, I understand the partial derivates can't vanish part :) But for the bounded region, So I would just plug in the points given by the vertices into the function right?

    MHB How Do You Find the Absolute Min and Max of a Function on a Triangular Region?

    Hello :) I'm struggling a bit on how I can find steps to solve problems like this, because my mind goes all over the place. Find absolute min and max of f(x,y) = 18-3x+6y on a closed triangular region with vertices (0,0), (6,0), and (6,9). I still struggle with partial derivatives and take a...

    MHB Absolute max/min over intervals

    Hello, I'm doing: Find absolute min/max of f(x)=x^3-12x^2-27x+8 First I found derivative and when I solved, I got x=9 and x=-1. So I have to find max/min for 3 different intervals: a) [-2,0] And I thought absolute max=-1 and absolute min = none? b) [1,10] max= none min= none c) [-2,10]...

    MHB Graph Sketching (concave)

    Hello! Thank you :) So basically that inflection point at x=1/3 you proposed can't be true is what you're saying, right? After I looked at the problem and thought about it more I guess for this problem, it's not possible to give a direct inflection point, just what it should be between...I think?

    MHB Graph Sketching (concave)

    Hello! Thank you for your help! Oh I see! After I drew the graph, I understood that the inflection point is near x=1. What I'm confused on is how I can find the values of a and b using that equation you wrote? I tried to expand it, but it clearly got more weird and long so if you could help me...

    MHB Graph Sketching (concave)

    Hello again :) I am doing a question in which I have to find the mistake that is in one of these points and must change one of these criteria to make it correct. So first I am drawing a graph to get an outline of what it looks like. -f(x) is defined on (−∞, ∞) and differentiable twice through...

    MHB Solving Limits: l'Hopital's Rule & Degree Rule

    Hi, I'm having some trouble with finding the limit for this question: I can use the l'hopital's rule which I tried.. I tried pi, 2pi, 0, inf, none seem to work so if I could have some help that would be appreciated! limx→0 \frac{cos5x-cos6x}{x^2} Would the degree rule apply here? It wouldn't...

    MHB Sketch Graph: Domain 0<x<12 | f' Increasing, f''<0

    Hi! Thank you! I'm still a bit confused:confused: So I'm just stuck on how the graph is going to look. From the info, so basically, to the left of the point (3,6), would I draw a upwards graph curve to make a concave up? And to the right of point (3,6) would I draw the graph facing / going...

    MHB Sketch Graph: Domain 0<x<12 | f' Increasing, f''<0

    Hi! I'm struggling with this question. I'm supposed to draw a graph that follows and has these features: - Domain of f is0<x<12 - f′ is increasing on (−∞,3) - f′′ <0 on (3,6) - f′ is Concave Up on (6, 9) - f has infelction point at x=9! I don't know if I can get help because this is a drawing...

    MHB What is the process to solve \sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}=5 for the point (4,9)?

    Hello! Can someone help me with the process of solving \sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}=5 on point (4,9)? With implicit, I differntiated both sides and ended up with 1/2x^-1/2+1/2y^-1/2\d{y}{x}=0 and I tried to isolate the dy/dx, but how do I get rid of the others? And with explicit, I isolated y to one side...

    MHB Solving for d^2y/dt^2: Finding d^2y/dt^2 with dx/dt=1/2

    Hello! I'm confused on a question that states: by pythagorus, sin^2x+cos^2x=1 for any x. Suppose that y=-cos^4x=sin^4x. If d^2x/dt^2=0, find d^2y/dt^2 when dx/dt=1/2 I first found dy/dt = 2sinxcosx and ended up with \d{^2y}{t^2} = cos^2x-sin^2x, and I was wondering if this is right?

    \d{b}{t}h+5b=0 Is what I got! (I hope I'm doing the tags correctly this time:) ) and then I isolated \d{b}{t} and ended up with... -1 ! Is this the correct process? Thank you!

    Hi! :) Okay so if A is a constant and you differentiate, would I get : 2= (\d{db}{dt})h+(\d{dh}{dt})b ?? And since h= 5b I just insert h into the h in the equation above??

    Hi! I recently came upon this problem : the height of a right angled triangle is increasing at a rate of 5cm/min while the area is constant. How fast must the base be decreasing at the moment when the height is 5 times the base? I drew a picture of the triangle, labelled the height (h) and...

    MHB What is the 2nd Derivative of y(t)=tan5t?

    Hello! I'm trying to find the 2nd derivative of y(t)=tan5t. I first found the first derivative.. and got y'(t)=sec^2(5t)(5) --> 5sec^2(5t) --> 5/(cos^2(5t) But to find the 2nd derivative I'm confused... I got until y"(t)=\frac{cos^2(5t)(5)'-(5)(cos^2(5t))'}{(cos^2(5t)(cos^2(5t))}
