I realized that I did not add in the second part of the question which asks to find whether the function has a local minimum or maximum when x=8 using the second derivative test.Okay, what's stopping you from finding the first two derivatives?
What is the "second derivative test"?
We need to see where you are and what you have tried.
I'm sorry, I did leave out the second part of the question without realizing it.It seems that your question is incomplete.
Using the second derivative test, find whether the function: x^3-9x^2-48x+52 is what, when x=8
Please, Please, read your post. Does it contain a complete question?Using the second derivative test, find whether the function: x^3-9x^2-48x+52, when x=8
My apologies for not putting the complete question in my post, it was a mistake. The complete question is as follows:Please, Please, read your post. Does it contain a complete question?
If \(y=x^3-9x^2-48x+52\) then \(y"=6x-18\). From that one may ask "where is a point of inflection?"
OR "is the graph of \(y\) concave up at \(x=3~?\)
So what is this question?
