What is the critical value gx 4 2x 3x2 Please show work C
What is the critical value? g(x) = 4 - 2/(x) + 3/(x^2) Please show work. Choices are: 0, 2, -2, 4
Is the critical value a relative max, relative min, or neither?
Solution
Critical value is given by
when g\'(x) = 0
g(x) = 4 - 2/x + 3/x^2
g\'(x) = 0 + 2/x^2 - 6/x^3
2/x^2 - 6/x^3 = 0
2/x^2 = 6/x^3
x = 3 Should be critical value, But in your given choices, there isn\'t 3.
since at x = 3, f\'(x) changes sign from -ve to +ve so it\'s minimum.
Also x = 0 cannot be a critical point, because at x = 0, g(x) is not defined.
Recheck your equation and let me know in the comments.
