find the absolute extrema of the function, if they exist, over the indicated interval. also indicate the x - value at which each extremum occurs. if no interval is specified, use the real numbers. (-∞, ∞)\nn(x)=\\sqrt7{x}, 0,128\nselect the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice\na. the absolute maximum is at x = and the absolute minimum is at x =\n(use a comma to separate answers as needed )\nb. the absolute minimum is at x = and there is no absolute maximum\n(use a comma to separate answers as needed )\nc. the absolute maximum is at x = and there is no absolute minimum\n(use a comma to separate answers as needed )\nd. there is no absolute maximum and no absolute minimum
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Find the derivative of the function
The function is (N(x)=\sqrt[7]{x}=x^{\frac{1}{7}}). Using the power rule (y = x^n), (y^\prime=nx^{n - 1}), we have (N^\prime(x)=\frac{1}{7}x^{\frac{1}{7}-1}=\frac{1}{7}x^{-\frac{6}{7}}=\frac{1}{7x^{\frac{6}{7}}}). The derivative (N^\prime(x)) is never zero (since the numerator is non - zero for all (x)) and is undefined at (x = 0). But (x = 0) is an endpoint of the interval ([0,128]).
Step2: Evaluate the function at the endpoints
Evaluate (N(x)) at (x = 0) and (x=128). When (x = 0), (N(0)=\sqrt[7]{0}=0). When (x = 128), (N(128)=\sqrt[7]{128}). Since (128 = 2^7), then (N(128)=\sqrt[7]{2^7}=2).
Answer:
A. The absolute maximum is (2) at (x = 128) and the absolute minimum is (0) at (x=0)
