Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Find the first derivative
Use the quotient rule ((\frac{u}{v})^\prime=\frac{u^\prime v - uv^\prime}{v^{2}}), where (u = 8x), (u^\prime=8), (v=x^{2}+9), (v^\prime = 2x). [ \begin{align*} y^\prime&=\frac{8(x^{2}+9)-8x\times(2x)}{(x^{2}+9)^{2}}\ &=\frac{8x^{2}+72 - 16x^{2}}{(x^{2}+9)^{2}}\ &=\frac{72 - 8x^{2}}{(x^{2}+9)^{2}} \end{align*} ] Set (y^\prime = 0), then (72-8x^{2}=0), (x^{2}=9), (x=\pm3).
Step2: Find the second derivative
Use the quotient rule again. Let (u = 72 - 8x^{2}), (u^\prime=-16x), (v=(x^{2}+9)^{2}), (v^\prime = 2(x^{2}+9)\times2x=4x(x^{2}+9)) [ \begin{align*} y^{\prime\prime}&=\frac{-16x(x^{2}+9)^{2}-(72 - 8x^{2})\times4x(x^{2}+9)}{(x^{2}+9)^{4}}\ &=\frac{-16x(x^{2}+9)-4x(72 - 8x^{2})}{(x^{2}+9)^{3}}\ &=\frac{-16x^{3}-144x-288x + 32x^{3}}{(x^{2}+9)^{3}}\ &=\frac{16x^{3}-432x}{(x^{2}+9)^{3}}\ &=\frac{16x(x^{2}-27)}{(x^{2}+9)^{3}} \end{align*} ] When (x = 3), (y^{\prime\prime}(3)=\frac{16\times3\times(9 - 27)}{(9 + 9)^{3}}<0), so (y(3)=\frac{8\times3}{9 + 9}=\frac{4}{3}) is a local maximum. When (x=-3), (y^{\prime\prime}(-3)=\frac{16\times(-3)\times(9 - 27)}{(9 + 9)^{3}}>0), so (y(-3)=\frac{8\times(-3)}{9 + 9}=-\frac{4}{3}) is a local minimum.
Since (\lim_{x\rightarrow\pm\infty}y=\lim_{x\rightarrow\pm\infty}\frac{8x}{x^{2}+9}=0), the local maximum (y(3)=\frac{4}{3}) is the absolute maximum and the local minimum (y(-3)=-\frac{4}{3}) is the absolute minimum.
Answer:
A. The absolute minimum point(s) is/are (\left(-3,-\frac{4}{3}\right))
