Question

You should convince yourself that the miniμm of (d) occurs at the same point as the miniμm of (d^2), but (d^2) is easier to work with. True/False: The statement suggests that the miniμm of (d) and (d^2) occurs at the same point.

Differentiating, we obtain...

a) A quadratic equation
b) A linear equation
c) A cubic equation
d) A trigonometric equation

Answer 1

The minimum of (d) and (d^2) do not occur at the same point. Differentiating (d) gives a quadratic equation, while differentiating (d^2) gives a linear equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement suggests that the minimum of (d) and (d^2) occurs at the same point.

When we differentiate (d), we obtain a quadratic equation, whereas when we differentiate (d^2), we obtain a linear equation.

Therefore, the answer is False because the miniμm of (d) and (d^2) do not occur at the same point.
