The absolute minimum value of x4 – x2 – 2x+ 5 (a) is equal to 5 (b) is equal to 3 (c) is equal to 7 (d) does not exist

Answer-

The abs. minimum value of the given function was found to be 3.

Solution-

Here, the given function is,

Then, calculating its first derivative,

Then, calculating its second derivative,

Then, calculating all the critical values of the given function by equating the first derivative to 0,

   ( ∵ ignoring the imaginary roots)

Putting the value of x, in the second derivative,

As, the value of f"(x) is positive, the function attains its minimum value at x=1.

So, f(1) will give the absolute minimum value of the function,

∴ The abs. minimum value of the given function is 3.

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
