Mathematics - 4 October 2006

When dealing with cubics (ax^3 + bx^2 + cx +d) are there plug and chug formulas avalible to find:
1) Max and Min values (ie the turning points of the graph)
and
2) The area under the curve
Right now I have about 30+ cubic equations that I have the coefficients for but need to find 1 and 2. I dont want to go through each one by taking the derivitives etc ... I am just wanting to set something up in Excel where I can place the coefficients in certain columns and I will recieve the results for 1 and 2 automatically.

Any ideas??

Any and all help wanted.

Thanks in advance :)

I'm currently studying derivatives in Calculus, but I have no idea how to even approach this problem. Could someone lead me in the right direction without giving the answer?

Question: Assume that f ' (c) = 3. Find the value of f ' (-c) if: f is an odd function, and if f is an even function.

I don't even understand why odd and even functions are included...

If you've been doing Algebra since 8th grade and then in 11th you chose your math, do you think Pre-Calc-where your using what you've learned throughout the years- or Accounting would be easier? Just curious.

I have a bonus problem for calc2:

"Show that the medians (ie side bisectors) of a triangle intersect at the centroid of the triangle (geometric center)"

Im kinda confused about the question. You can find the medians easily...But in what direction do you extend them so they all interesect? You can make any 3 points anywhere interesect at the centroid if it is coming from a side. Im really confused.

Anyway, if someone could explain the problem a little better and then offer some TIPS that would be great.

prove: if x^2 = n (mod 65) has a solution (for x), then x^2 = -n (mod 65) has a solution.

(the "=" are congruence symbols.)
