The derivative of the function ff is defined by f(x)=x22x5sin(2x2)f^{\prime}(x)=x^{2}-2 x-5 \sin (2 x-2) for 2<x<4-2<x<4. Find all intervals in the given domain where the function ff is increasing. You may use a calculator and round all values to 3 decimal places. Answer Attempt 2 out of 3

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The function f f is differentiable on the interval 2<x<4-2 < x < 4.
2. The derivative of the function f f is given by f(x)=x22x5sin(2x2) f^{\prime}(x) = x^2 - 2x - 5 \sin(2x - 2) .
3. We need to find intervals where f f is increasing, which occurs where f(x)>0 f^{\prime}(x) > 0 .

STEP 2

1. Determine where f(x)>0 f^{\prime}(x) > 0 .
2. Solve the inequality to find intervals.
3. Verify intervals using a calculator.

STEP 3

To find where f f is increasing, solve the inequality f(x)>0 f^{\prime}(x) > 0 .
This means solving: x22x5sin(2x2)>0 x^2 - 2x - 5 \sin(2x - 2) > 0

STEP 4

Use a calculator to evaluate f(x) f^{\prime}(x) at several points in the interval 2<x<4-2 < x < 4 to approximate where the inequality holds.

STEP 5

Identify intervals where the evaluated values of f(x) f^{\prime}(x) are positive.

STEP 6

Using the calculator, find the critical points of f(x) f^{\prime}(x) by setting f(x)=0 f^{\prime}(x) = 0 and solving for x x .

STEP 7

Verify the intervals by checking the sign of f(x) f^{\prime}(x) around the critical points and within the domain 2<x<4-2 < x < 4.
The intervals where f f is increasing are approximately:
(a,b) (a, b) and (c,d) (c, d)
where a,b,c, a, b, c, and d d are the critical points found using the calculator.
