Find the extreme values for the function:f(x) = 3x^2 - 5x + 3

f(x) = 3x^2 - 5x + 3


First we
will differentiate .


f'(x) = 6x -


We will find the deicative's
zeros.


==> 6x - 5 =
0


==> x= 5/6


Then the
function has an extreme value when x= 5/6


==> f(5/6)
= 3*(5/6)^2  - 5(5/6) +3


                  = 3*25/36  -
25/6 + 3


                   = (75 - 150 +
108)/3


                   =  33/3 =
11


Since the factor for x^2 is positive, then
the function has MINIMUM value at f(5/6) = 11

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
