Explanation Given Information: The provided function is, f ( x ) = x 4 − 2 x 3 + x 2 − 2 x + 1 Graph: Consider the provided function, f ( x ) = x 4 − 2 x 3 + x 2 − 2 x + 1 Now, differentiate the provided function with respect to x as, f ′ ( x ) = d d x ( x 4 − 2 x 3 + x 2 − 2 x + 1 ) = d d x ( x 4 ) − d d x ( 2 x 3 ) + d d x ( x 2 ) − d d x ( 2 x ) + d d x ( 1 ) = 4 x 3 − 6 x 2 + 2 x − 2 Now, plot this graph using TI-83 as, Step1: Press ON key. Step2: Press “Y=” key. Step3: Enter the equation as below, Y 1 = 4 × X ^ 3 − 6 × X ^ 2 + 2 × X − 2 Step4: Press GRAPH key. The graph so obtained is depicted below, Now, as it can be observed from the graph that y = 0 or f ' ( x ) = 0 for x ≈ 1.40 . Now, to find the minima, substitute x = 1.40 in the equation, f ( x ) = x 4 − 2 x 3 + x 2 − 2 x + 1 . f ( 1.40 ) = ( 1.40 ) 4 − 2 ( 1.40 ) 3 + ( 1.40 ) 2 − 2 ( 1.40 ) + 1 = 3.8416 − 5.488 + 1.96 − 2.80 + 1 = − 1.49 Therefore, f ( x ) has absolute minimum at ( 1.40 , − 1.49 ) . Now, obtain f ″ ( x ) as, f ″ ( x ) = d d x ( 4 x 3 − 6 x 2 + 2 x − 2 ) = d d x ( 4 x 3 ) − d d x ( 6 x 2 ) + d d x ( 2 x ) − d d x ( 2 ) = 12 x 2 − 12 x + 2 Now, plot this graph using TI-83 as, Step1: Press ON key

Rate of Change

The relation between two quantities which displays how much greater one quantity is than another is called ratio.

Slope

The change in the vertical distances is known as the rise and the change in the horizontal distances is known as the run. So, the rise divided by run is nothing but a slope value. It is calculated with simple algebraic equations as:

As the speed of a train increases, the amount of power needed to maintain that speed increases, and the rate of power increase also increases. Let P = f(v) be the power, in megawatts, needed for the train to maintain a speed of v kilometers per hour. (a) Sketch a possible graph of f. (b) For each of the functions f, f', and f", decide whether the function is positive or negative, and explain your answers. (c) What requires a greater increase in power: increasing the train's speed from 100 to 150 kilometers per hour, or increasing the train's speed from 200 to 250 kilometers per hour?
