Math Problem Statement

y(x) = [exp(-3/2 * x^2)][3(x^2 + 1)^(3/2) - 2]

Solution

The equation provided in the image is:

[ y(x) = \left[ \exp\left( -\frac{3}{2}x^2 \right) \right] \left[ 3(x^2 + 1)^{3/2} - 2 \right] ]

This represents a function of xx, composed of two parts:

  1. exp(32x2)\exp\left( -\frac{3}{2}x^2 \right) — An exponential decay term that decreases as x2x^2 increases.
  2. [3(x2+1)3/22]\left[ 3(x^2 + 1)^{3/2} - 2 \right] — A polynomial-like expression involving x2x^2, scaled by a factor of 3 and raised to the power 3/23/2, then reduced by 2.

Would you like to explore how this function behaves or requires some other details?

Here are 5 questions that might be of interest:

  1. What is the domain and range of y(x)y(x)?
  2. How does the function behave for large values of xx (as xx \to \infty)?
  3. Can you differentiate y(x)y(x) to find the first derivative?
  4. How does the function behave near x=0x = 0?
  5. What are the critical points and inflection points of y(x)y(x)?

Tip: When dealing with complex expressions, simplifying individual terms can help when finding derivatives or integrals.
