This is a Calc I problem that i need help with.
f(x) = 3x^3 + 2x^2 + Cx
f'(x) = 9x^2 + 4x + C
0 = 9x^2 + 4x + C
x = (-4 +/- sqrt(16 - 4 * 9 * C)) / (2 * 9)
We want 16 - 36C to equal 0
16 - 36C = 0
16 = 36C
4 = 9C
4/9 = C
C = 4/9
f(x) = 3x^3 + 2x^2 + cx + 4
f ' (x) = 9x^2 + 4x + c
equate f ' (x) tp zero
9x^2 + 4x + c = 0
=> x^2 + (4/9)x + c/9 = 0
( x + 2/9)^2 - 4/81 + c/9 = 0
in order to have only one critical number, c/9 should be 4/81
c/9 = 4/81
c = 4/9
