CHEM:
TRICLINIC CRYSTAL SYSTEMS: axinite

What type of substances is axinite found in?
What are the current/possible economic values of axinite?
Explain possible uses of axinite, ie.

help


CALC:
f(-5)=4; f(0)=0; f(5)=-4
f'(-5)=f'(0)=f'(5)=0;
f'(x)>0 if |x|>5; f'(x)<0 if 0<|x|<5


how would you graph that?
so we have points (-5,4), (0,0), and (5, -4)
what would you do about the derivatives? where does it concave up/down and how can you tell?

The color, hardness and clarity of axinite crystals make it a quality gemstone as it is able to be cut/faceted for use in jewelry settings. It is also used in the metaphysical community to facilitate change and healing processes although I cannot cite specifics. Try a Google search for metaphysical properties of axinite.

Axinite is found in silicate rocks and druze granite formations. In the US, it is mined in PA and CA.

find stationary points.... f'(x)=0

determine nature
use f"(x) equation and sub in the x values for the stationary points

f"(x)<0 concave up
f"(x)>0 concave down

this is the fast way... your teacher may want the box test

for points of inflection make the f"(x)=0 and find x values...

CALC:
f(-5)=4; f(0)=0; f(5)=-4
f'(-5)=f'(0)=f'(5)=0;
f'(x)>0 if |x|>5; f'(x)<0 if 0<|x|<5

------

1. plot the points given on the graph (duh)
2. f'(-5) = 0. this means that at (-5, 4), the slope of the graph is zero.
3. f'(0) = 0. this means that at (0,0), the slope of the graph is zero. same thing with (5,-4)

okay i suck at explaining. i'll draw--er, sketch really badly the graph.


this should be right....i'm not so great with MS paint. i can explain stuff more if you need me to.

yeah so near the right ish, it looks like the slope is zero for a range of values, but its not supposed to be like that. haha sorry, it was the best i could do. also i didn't really draw that the graph had a slope of 0 at (0,0) but it should be.

Actually, Calc is getting better for me. Maybe because (a) I sit next to someone really boring so I have nothing to do but pay attention, and (b) I now take extensive notes.
