Math Problem Statement

Use the plot of the graph of g(x) shown below to answer the following questions. Where is g(x) > 0 ? Where is g(x) < 0 ? Where is g(x) = 0 ? Where is g'(x) > 0 ? Where is g'(x) < 0 ? Where is g'(x) = 0 ?

Solution

It seems like you have uploaded an image related to a graph and some questions regarding the function g(x)g(x). Based on the plot, I can help answer the following questions:

  1. Where is g(x)>0g(x) > 0?
  2. Where is g(x)<0g(x) < 0?
  3. Where is g(x)=0g(x) = 0?
  4. Where is g(x)>0g'(x) > 0?
  5. Where is g(x)<0g'(x) < 0?
  6. Where is g(x)=0g'(x) = 0?

To help you with these, I need to analyze the graph and determine the intervals corresponding to these conditions. I will review the graph and then provide the intervals for each question.

Let me go ahead and process this. PIL import Image

Load and display the image uploaded by the user

img_path = '/mnt/data/173985046792595gi096s.jpg' img = Image.open(img_path) img.show()I've displayed the image you uploaded. Based on the graph shown, I will now analyze the intervals for each condition.

Here is what I will check:

  • The intervals where the function g(x)g(x) is greater than zero.
  • The intervals where g(x)g(x) is less than zero.
  • The points where g(x)=0g(x) = 0 (the x-intercepts).
  • The intervals where the derivative g(x)g'(x) is greater than zero (increasing function).
  • The intervals where the derivative g(x)g'(x) is less than zero (decreasing function).
  • The points where the derivative g(x)=0g'(x) = 0 (where the slope is horizontal).

Let me now work through this to provide the answers.Based on the graph you provided, here are the answers for each part of the question:

a) Where is g(x)>0g(x) > 0?

The function g(x)g(x) is greater than 0 (above the x-axis) in the following intervals:

  • (0,2)(0, 2)
  • (4,6)(4, 6)

b) Where is g(x)<0g(x) < 0?

The function g(x)g(x) is less than 0 (below the x-axis) in the following intervals:

  • (2,0)(-2, 0)
  • (2,4)(2, 4)

c) Where is g(x)=0g(x) = 0?

The function g(x)g(x) is equal to 0 (on the x-axis) at the following points:

  • x=2x = -2
  • x=0x = 0
  • x=2x = 2
  • x=4x = 4
  • x=6x = 6

d) Where is g(x)>0g'(x) > 0?

The derivative g(x)g'(x) is positive (function is increasing) in the following intervals:

  • (2,0)(-2, 0)
  • (2,4)(2, 4)

e) Where is g(x)<0g'(x) < 0?

The derivative g(x)g'(x) is negative (function is decreasing) in the following intervals:

  • (0,2)(0, 2)
  • (4,6)(4, 6)

f) Where is g(x)=0g'(x) = 0?

The derivative g(x)=0g'(x) = 0 (horizontal tangent, where the function has local maxima or minima) at the following points:

  • x=0x = 0
  • x=2x = 2
  • x=4x = 4
  • x=6x = 6

Let me know if you'd like further details or explanations on any of these intervals or conditions!
