Consider the function below. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) f(x) = x3 − 27x + 3 (a) Find the interval of increase. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)

(-∞,-3) and (3,∞)  

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3

1. Find the critical points

(a) Calculate the first derivative of the function.

f'(x) = 3x² -27  

(b) Factor the first derivative

f'(x)= 3(x² - 9) = 3(x + 3) (x - 3)

(c) Find the zeros

3(x + 3) (x - 3) = 0

x + 3 = 0      x - 3 = 0

     x = -3          x = 3

The critical points are at x = -3 and x = 3.

2. Find the local extrema

(a) x = -3

f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3 = (-3)³ - 27(-3) + 3 = -27 +81 + 3 = 57

(b) x = 3

f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3 = 3³ - 27(3) + 3 = 27 - 81 + 3 = -51

The local extrema are at (-3,57) and (3,-51).

3, Identify the local extrema as maxima or minima

Test the first derivative (the slope) over the intervals (-∞, -3), (-3,3), (3,∞)

f'(-4) = 3x² -27 = 3(4)² - 27  = 21

f'(0) = 3(0)² -27 = -27

f'(4) = 3(4)² - 27 = 51

The function is increasing on the intervals (-∞,-3) and (3,∞).

The graph below shows the critical points of your function.

439400

step-by-step explanation:

130^2 = 16900

16900*26 = 439400
