\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. In order to do that first find the derivative dy/dx
\n" ); document.write( "2. How many critical numbers does y have, for positive x ?
\n" ); document.write( "3. What is the nature of the critical number of the previous part?
\n" ); document.write( "4. give the exact value of the x that minimises y for positive x?
\n" ); document.write( "5. Now give the value approximately as a two place decimal.

1. \"y=18x%5E2%2B100x%5E%28-1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"dy%2Fdx=36x-100x%5E%28-2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"dy%2Fdx=36x-100%2Fx%5E%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"36x-100%2Fx%5E2=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "One
\n" ); document.write( "3. Nature?
\n" ); document.write( "4. \"36x=100%2Fx%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E3=100%2F36\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E3=25%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%2825%2F9%29%5E%281%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "5. I leave that to you.
