STEP 1

What is this asking? Find the biggest and smallest values of h(z)=1z+5z2h(z) = \frac{1}{z} + 5z^2 for positive zz. Watch out! Don't forget to check what happens when zz gets really close to zero and really, really big!

STEP 2

1. Explore the function's behavior
2. Find the minimum
3. Find the maximum

STEP 3

Let's see what happens when zz gets super close to zero.
As zz approaches **zero**, 1z\frac{1}{z} becomes **gigantic**, so h(z)h(z) explodes to **infinity**!

STEP 4

Now, what happens when zz becomes **huge**?
Well, 5z25z^2 also becomes **massive**, so h(z)h(z) goes to **infinity** again!

STEP 5

To find the minimum, we need to find the **derivative** of h(z)h(z) and set it to **zero**!
The derivative tells us how h(z)h(z) is changing.

STEP 6

ddzh(z)=ddz(1z+5z2)=1z2+10z \frac{d}{dz} h(z) = \frac{d}{dz} \left( \frac{1}{z} + 5z^2 \right) = -\frac{1}{z^2} + 10z

STEP 7

Now, set the derivative equal to zero and solve for zz: 1z2+10z=0 -\frac{1}{z^2} + 10z = 0 Multiply both sides by z2z^2 (since z>0z > 0, we're not multiplying by zero, so it's all good!): 1+10z3=0 -1 + 10z^3 = 0 10z3=1 10z^3 = 1 z3=110 z^3 = \frac{1}{10} z=1103 z = \sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{10}}

STEP 8

Plug this **critical value** back into h(z)h(z) to find the **minimum value**: \begin{align*} h\left(\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{10}}\right) &= \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{10}}} + 5\left(\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{10}}\right)^2 \\ &= \sqrt[3]{10} + 5\left(\frac{1}{10}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}} \\ &= \sqrt[3]{10} + 5\left(\frac{1}{100}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \\ &= \sqrt[3]{10} + 5 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{100}} \\ &= \sqrt[3]{10} + 5 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{4 \cdot 25}} \\ &= \sqrt[3]{10} + 5 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{4} \cdot \sqrt[3]{25}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt[3]{4}}{\sqrt[3]{4}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt[3]{5}}{\sqrt[3]{5}} \\ &= \sqrt[3]{10} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5}{4 \cdot 5 \cdot 4}} \\ &= \sqrt[3]{10} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{125}{20 \cdot 4}} = \sqrt[3]{10} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{125}{80}} = \sqrt[3]{10} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{5}{4} \cdot \frac{5}{4} \cdot \frac{5}{2}} = \sqrt[3]{10} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{5}{4} \cdot \frac{25}{8}} \\ &= \sqrt[3]{10} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{5}{4}} \end{align*}

STEP 9

We already saw that h(z)h(z) goes to **infinity** as zz gets close to **zero** or becomes **very large**.
This means there's no **global maximum**!

STEP 10

The global maximum of h(z)h(z) *does not exist*.
The global minimum is 103+543\sqrt[3]{10} + \sqrt[3]{\frac{5}{4}}.
