How would I go about finding the value of t in the local max of f(t)?
How would I go about finding the value of t in the local max of f(t)?
1 Answer
Explanation:
Identify the critical points of the function solving the equation:
Based on the fundamental theorem of calculus:
As the denominator is always positive we have to solve the equation:
As the numerator is a second order polynomial with leading positive coefficients we know that it is negative inside the interval between the roots and positive outside. The denominator as we noted is always positive, so we can conclude that:
We can conclude that
