Get started for freeThe cost of manufacturing a container for frozen orange juice is cents, where is the height of the container in inches. Your boss claims that the containers will be the cheapest to make if they are inches tall. Use Theorem 3.3 to quickly show that he is wrong.
Determine whether or not each function f in Exercises 53–60 satisfies the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval [a, b]. For those that do, use derivatives and algebra to find the exact values of all c ∈ (a, b) that satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem.
Find the critical points of each function f .Then use a graphing utility to determine whether f has a local minimum, a local maximum, or neither at each of these critical points.
Find the critical points of each function f .Then use a graphing utility to determine whether f has a local minimum, a local maximum, or neither at each of these.
f (x) = (x − 1.7) (x + 3)
Use a sign chart for to determine the intervals on which each function is increasing or decreasing. Then verify your algebraic answers with graphs from a calculator or graphing utility.
