If we want to use the Richardson method to calculate the
second-order derivative symmetrically at the zero points of a
function, we need at least how many points. Give an example of
these points we need. In this case, take the formula of the second
derivative.
Use the given function, its first derivative, and its second
derivative to answer the following:
f(x)=(1/3)x^3 - (1/2)x^2 - 6x + 5
f'(x)= x^2 - x - 6 = (x+2)(x-3)
f''(x)= 2x - 1
a) What are the intervals of increase and the intervals of
decrease
b) Identify local min and max points
c) What are the intervals where the function is concave up,
concave down and identify the inflection points
1. Calculate the number of atoms per cubic centimeter
of lead given that the density of lead is 11.3 ?/??3 and its atomic
weight is 207.21.
2. Calculate the ionization potential of a singly ionized ?? 4
atom.
3. (a) How much energy would be released if 1 g of deuterium were
fused to form helium according to the equation 2? + 2? → ?? 4 + ??
(b) How much energy is necessary to drive the two deuterium nuclei...
For the given function use either the 1st
or 2nd derivative test to calculate the
following: (Show all work!!) (must show test used)
a). all critical
points
b). draw the sign
diagram
c). find all
relative extreme points.
d). list the
intervals where the function increases and decreases.
e). all
inflection points
f). intervals
of concavity
g). sketch the
graph
