Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the function over the indicated interval, and indicate the x-values at which they occur. f (x )equalsx Superscript 4 Baseline minus 18 x squared plus 9; [negative 5 comma 5 ]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) = x⁴-18x²+9 at the interval [-5, 5], the  absolute maximum and minimum values at this end points are as calculated;

at end point x = -5

f(-5) = (-5)⁴-18(-5)²+9

f(-5) = 625-450+9

f(-5) = 184

at end point x = 5

f(5) = (5)⁴-18(5)²+9

f(5) = 625-450+9

f(5) = 184

To get the critical point, this points occurs at the turning point i.e at

dy/dx = 0

if y = x⁴-18x²+9

dy/dx = 4x³-36x = 0

4x³-36x = 0

4x (x²-9) = 0

4x = 0

x = 0

x²-9 = 0

x² = 9

x = ±3

Using the critical points [0, ±3]

when x = 0, f(0) =  0⁴-18(0)+9

f(0) = 9

Similarly when x = 3, f(±3)=  (±3)⁴-18(±3)²+9

f(±3) = 81-162+9

f(±3) = -72

It can be seen that the absolute minimum occurs at x= ±5 and and absolute minimum occurs at x =±3

absolute maximum = 184

absolute minimum = -72

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.
