Excluding any values not in the domain of g, for what values of c is g'(c) = 0 or undefined? (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) c =

Give the critical numbers of the function. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) t = .

Solution

To find the derivative g(t)g'(t) of the given function and determine the critical numbers, let's proceed step by step.

The function given is:

g(t)=t8tg(t) = \frac{t}{\sqrt{8 - t}}

Finding g(t)g'(t)

First, we can rewrite the function to make differentiation easier:

g(t)=t(8t)1/2g(t) = t (8 - t)^{-1/2}

Now we use the product rule to find the derivative:

g(t)=uvg(t) = u \cdot v where: u=tu = t v=(8t)1/2v = (8 - t)^{-1/2}

The product rule states that: g(t)=uv+uvg'(t) = u'v + uv'

First, we need to find the derivatives of uu and vv:

u=ddt(t)=1u' = \frac{d}{dt}(t) = 1 v=(8t)1/2v = (8 - t)^{-1/2} v=ddt(8t)1/2v' = \frac{d}{dt} (8 - t)^{-1/2}

Using the chain rule for vv':

v=12(8t)3/2(1)=12(8t)3/2v' = -\frac{1}{2} (8 - t)^{-3/2} \cdot (-1) = \frac{1}{2} (8 - t)^{-3/2}

Now, applying the product rule:

g(t)=uv+uvg'(t) = u'v + uv' g(t)=1(8t)1/2+t12(8t)3/2g'(t) = 1 \cdot (8 - t)^{-1/2} + t \cdot \frac{1}{2} (8 - t)^{-3/2} g(t)=(8t)1/2+t2(8t)3/2g'(t) = (8 - t)^{-1/2} + \frac{t}{2} (8 - t)^{-3/2}

Simplifying further:

[ g'(t) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{8 - t}} + \frac{t}{2(8 - t
