Example:
Verify mean value theorem for the function f (x) = (x - 4) (x - 6) (x - 8) in [4,..
Step 2:
f ' (x) = (x - 6) (x - 4) + (x - 4) (x - 8) + (x - 6) (x - 8) f '(x)= (x 2 -10x + 24) + (x 2 - 12x + 32)+ (x 2 - 14x + 48) = 3x 2 - 36x + 104 f '(x) is defined for all values on the interval (4,10). \ f '(x) is differentiabl..
Maxima and Minima
A function f(x) is said to have a local maximum at x = a, if $ is a neighbourhood I of 'a', such that f(a) f(x) for all x I The number f(a) is called the local maximum of f(x). The point a is called the point of maximum. Note that when 'a' is the point of local maxima, f(x) is increasing for all va..
Theorem 2:
(First Derivative Test) Let f (x) be a real valued differentiable function. Let a be a point on an interval I such that f '(a) = 0. (a) a is a local maxima of the function f (x) if i) f (a) = 0 ii) f (x) changes sign from positive to negative as x increases through a. That is, f (x) > 0 for x &l..
Step 1:
Find f '(..
Step 3:

This Tutor Vista is GREAT! loved this session, it helped me heaps.
Tutor Vista tutor helped me understand and gave me some practices and showed me how to do them.
VERY HELPFULL! I understand through the formulas given to read the equation when worked great job
Tutor are so organized and neat with their teachings. She set up everything that made the problems more understandable by showing them in such a simple manner, I feel I could really learn from them and pertain it to my class! :)
