Find the value of x that minimises
y = 10 x2 + 1900
x
for positive x.
2.1 (1 mark)
In order to do that first find the derivative dy/dx.
dy/dx =
Your last answer was:
20 x−1900 x−2
Your answer is correct.
The mark for your last attempt was 1.00
You previously made one incorrect attempt, and were penalised 0.10, giving an overall mark of 0.90.

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
Wrong type
Your answer should have type
integer
but it does not.

Answer by rothauserc(4718)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
