Question

f(x) = 12x^3 - 117x^2 - 432x +2 List any invetervals on which the function is increasing and decreasing.

Suppose a certain drug is administered to a patient and the the percent of concentration of the drug is in the bloodstream after T hours is modeled by the following function, where 0 < T < infinity.   K(t) = 4t / t^2 + 4. A) Identify the open invervals where K(t) is increasing. B) Identify the open intervals where K(t) is decreasing

The function A(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0,03x^2 +0.14x + 0.05 (The funtion only applies to the first 6 hours. A) Identify the time invervals where A(x) is increasing. B) Identify the time intervals where A(x) is decreasing

f(x) = x^3 + 6x^2 + 1. Create a sign chart to decide at which critical number a local minimum occurs and at which critical number a local maximum occurs. Find the corresponding y values for each to complete each statement.

f(x) = x^3 + 9x^2 + 24x + 1. Create a sign chart to decide at which critical number a local minimum occurs and at which critical number a local maximum occurs. Find the corresponding y values for each to complete each statement.

Explanation / Answer

1)f(x) = 12x^3 - 117x^2 - 432x +2 List any invetervals on which the function is increasing and decreasing.

f(x) = 12x^3 - 117x^2 - 432x +2

f '(x) = 12*3x^2 - 117*2x - 432+ 0

f '(x) = 36x^2 - 234x - 432+ 0

f '(x) = 2x^2 - 13x -24

f '(x) = 2x^2 - 13x -24

f '(x) = 2x^2 - 16x+3x -24

f '(x) = 2x(x-8)+3(x -8)

f '(x) = (2x+3)(x-8)

function increasing ==>f '(x)>0

==>(2x+3)(x-8)>0

==>x< -3/2 , x>8

x=(-infinity, -3/2)U(8,infinity)

function decreasing ==>f '(x)<0

==>(2x+3)(x-8)<0

==>x> -3/2 , x<8

x=( -3/2,8)

2)K(t) = 4t / t^2 + 4

K'(t) = (4*1*(t^2 +4) - 4t( 2t + 0))/ (t^2 + 4)^2

K'(t) = (4t^2 +16 -8t^2))/ (t^2 + 4)^2

K'(t) = (16 -4t^2))/ (t^2 + 4)^2

given 0<t<infinity

increasing ==>K'(t)>0

(16 -4t^2))/ (t^2 + 4)^2 >0

(16 -4t^2)) >0

(4 -t^2)) >0

(2-t)(2+t)>0

(t-2)(t+2)<0

but t>0

==>so t =(0,2)

decreasing ==>K'(t)<0

(16 -4t^2))/ (t^2 + 4)^2 <0

(16 -4t^2)) <0

(4 -t^2)) <0

(2-t)(2+t)<0

(t-2)(t+2)>0

but t>0

==>so t =(2,infinity)
