Step 1

(a) f(x) = x^2 + 2/x f'(x) = 2x - 2/x^2 Setting f'(x) = 0: 2x - 2/x^2 = 0 2x = 2/x^2 x^3 = 1 x = 1 (b) f(x) = √x - √x^3 f'(x) = 1/(2√x) - 3x^(1/2) Setting f'(x) = 0: 1/(2√x) - 3x^(1/2) = 0 1/(2√x) = 3x^(1/2) 1 = 6x x = 1/6 (c) f(x) = (x^2 + x + 6)/(x - 1) f'(x) Show more…

For the following functions, find the local and/or absolute maxima for the functions over the specified domain. (10) (a) f(x)=x^(2)+(2)/(x) over 1,4. (10) (b) f(x)=sqrt(x)-sqrt(x^(3)) over 0,4, (10) (c) f(x)=(x^(2)+x+6)/(x-1) over 2,6. l. For the following functions,find the local and/or absolute maxima for the functions over the specified domain.
