Find \(d y / d u, d u / d x\), and \(d y / d x\). $$ y=u^{3}, u=3 x^{2}-2 $$
You are managing a store and have been adjusting the price of an item. You have found that you make a profit of \(\$ 50\) when 10 units are sold, \(\$ 60\) when 12 units are sold, and \(\$ 65\) when 14 units are sold. (a) Fit these data to the model \(P=a x^{2}+b x+c\). (b) Use a graphing utility to graph \(P\). (c) Find the point on the graph at which the marginal profit is zero. Interpret this point in the context of the problem.
Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of \(f\) at the point \((2, f(2)) .\) Use a graphing utility to check your result by graphing the original function and the tangent line in the same viewing window. $$ f(x)=\sqrt{x^{2}-2 x+1} $$
Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of \(f\) at the point \((2, f(2)) .\) Use a graphing utility to check your result by graphing the original function and the tangent line in the same viewing window. $$ f(x)=2\left(x^{2}-1\right)^{3} $$
Use a symbolic differentiation utility to find the derivative of the function. Graph the function and its derivative in the same viewing window. Describe the behavior of the function when the derivative is zero. $$ f(x)=\sqrt{\frac{2 x}{x+1}} $$
