F(x) = sqrt(9-x^2) = (9-x^2)^(1/2)
on the interval [-1,2];
are standard notations for writing this equation out in text form. The ^ means exponent.
Steps:
To find the absolute max and min we have to:
1) find all extreme (or critical points)
2) check the end points.
Calculate the first derivative.
F'(x) = 1/2 (9 - x^2)^(-1/2) (-2x) = - x / sqrt(9-x^2)
(remember to use the chain ...
