Do I not just find the derivative of this equation, then set it to zero to find it's critical points? Then use those critical points to find the domain for when its negative or postive?

  1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:

  4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

Bro domain is already given in question

#

[0,7]

winged monolith
#

yes IK

#

but we should create a number line and plug in when the x's make the y's negative

main kettle
#

Bro but how do we find displacement

#

I know velocity is derivative

winged monolith
#

this question doesn't talk about displacemenet

#

we use position to find displacement

#

there are multiple parts to this question

main kettle
#

Ohk

winged monolith
#

this is what i was talking about

#

to see when the graph is going into negative direction

main kettle
#

It is correct

#

1.23 and 4.11 are your critical points?

winged monolith
#

yes

main kettle
#

Ok so

#

Write in intervals

winged monolith
#

the numbers were competly wrong

main kettle
#

Bro actually

#

Velocity is already given

#

This f(t) was velocity

#

So we don't need to take the derivative

#

Set f(t) = 0

winged monolith
#

No we use derivative too see the rate of change if it's heading to the negative direction or positive direction because f'(x)=0 are the points where there's an inflection point from negative to positive

#

I know we set f(t)=0 but why cant we just use my way?

main kettle
#

Actually bro

#

Velocity is rate of change

#

And velocity is given in question

#

So we don't need to find rate of change

winged monolith
#

your right wow

#

no

#

but look were finding the zeros and finding the intervals between the zeros and classifiying that whole interval as positive or negative when in reality between those intervals we can have critical points

main kettle
#

Bruh

#

Wdym

#

At critical points there is no rate of change

winged monolith
#

OHHHH

#

okay yes
