Find the value of x that minimises
y = 10 x2 + 1900
x
for positive x.

In order to do that first find the derivative dy/dx.
dy/dx =
Your last answer was:
20 x−1900 x−2

How many critical numbers does y have, for positive x?
Recall that a critical number of a function is a value of x for which the derivative of the function is zero or doesn't exist.
Answer:
Your last answer was:
4.56

2.1) dy/dx = -1900x^(-2) + 20x
2.2) -1900x^(-2) + 20x = 0
(20(x^3 - 95)) / x^2 = 0
for x > 0
x^3 - 95 = 0
x = (95)^(1/3)
answer is 1 solution
2.3) m (minimum)
2.4) x = (95)^(1/3) = 4.562902635
2.5) x(at minimum) = 4.56
