Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If f(x) = e^x - x^2, find the x-coordinate of the local maximum.
  • Step 1: Start with the function f(x) = e^x - x^2.
  • Step 2: Find the derivative of the function, which is f'(x) = e^x - 2x.
  • Step 3: Set the derivative equal to zero to find critical points: e^x - 2x = 0.
  • Step 4: Solve the equation e^x = 2x. This may require numerical methods or graphing.
  • Step 5: Check the critical points to determine if they are local maxima or minima.
  • Step 6: After checking, you find that x = 1 is a local maximum.
  • Differentiation – The process of finding the derivative of a function to determine critical points.
  • Critical Points – Points where the derivative is zero or undefined, indicating potential local maxima or minima.
  • Second Derivative Test – A method to determine the nature of critical points by evaluating the second derivative.
