SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on solving beginner-level calculus problems involving functions and their properties. The first function, y=ln((x+10)/(x-8))+80, requires finding the domain, asymptotes, extrema, growth and decline intervals, curvature, and points of inflection. The second function, z=xy+40x, involves finding extrema under the constraint x²+y²=256, checking sufficiency, designating types, and calculating function values. Key mathematical terminology and concepts such as asymptotes, extrema, and concavity are emphasized throughout the discussion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of logarithmic functions and their properties
  • Knowledge of derivatives and critical points in calculus
  • Familiarity with constraints in optimization problems
  • Basic grasp of concavity and inflection points
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of logarithmic functions and their domains
  • Learn how to find asymptotes for rational functions
  • Explore optimization techniques in multivariable calculus
  • Review methods for determining concavity and points of inflection
USEFUL FOR

Students in introductory calculus courses, educators teaching mathematical concepts, and anyone seeking to improve their understanding of function analysis and optimization techniques.

Could somebody help !?

I really appreciate, if somebody could help me with these tasks, I am beginner and really need fast help. Also, as my mothertonque is not English, some mathematical terms may be wrong, hope you understand.



1. Function y=ln (x+10/x-8)+80

a)find domain, b)asymptotes equations, c)Extremums, d)grow and decline areas, e)curvature and concava areas, f)point of inflections



2.Function: z=xy+40x, a) find Extremums in condition: x^2+y^2=256

b) control sufficiency, c) designate type, d) calculate the value of function



Thank you!

for "grow and decline areas", we would usually say "intervals with positive and negative slope"; for "curvature and concava areas", we'd usually say "concave up and concave down areas". The plural of "extremum" is "extrema", although many native English don't know this!

Anyway, could you show your work?
 


1.a) (x+10/x-8)>0
x-8=(not equal)0
(x+10)(x-8)=0
x1=-10, x2=8
Domain: ]minus Infinity;-10[compound]8;infinity[ ?
b) have no idea how to find asymptotes equations
c)i got derivative 2/[(x+10)(x-8)]
then solved the equation and got x1=-10 and x2=8
but when analyzing the extremum places then i got that both are not suitable becuse you can't take ln0?, but there should be extremum places.
