Algebra.Com's Answer #691368 by KMST(5328)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have to calculate derivatives. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "That derivative function is \n" ); document.write( "negative for \n" ); document.write( "(meaning f(t) decreases in that interval); \n" ); document.write( "it is zero at \n" ); document.write( "(indicating local extreme values of the function), \n" ); document.write( "and the derivative is positive for any other \n" ); document.write( "(indicating that f(t) is increasing). \n" ); document.write( "So, f(t) increases with t for \n" ); document.write( "reaches a local maximum at \n" ); document.write( "decreases until reaching a local minimum at \n" ); document.write( "and then increases for \n" ); document.write( "There is no absolute minimum or maximum. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "For inflection points, \n" ); document.write( "we need the second derivative. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "shows you that the inflection point is at \n" ); document.write( " |
