Beyond the Answer
To find the critical numbers of the function \( f(x) = 7 x e^{7 x} \), we first need to find its derivative and set it to zero. Using the product rule and chain rule, we differentiate: \[ f'(x) = 7 e^{7x} + 7x \cdot 7 e^{7x} = 7 e^{7x} (1 + 7x) \] Next, we set the derivative equal to zero: \[ 7 e^{7x} (1 + 7x) = 0 \] Since \( e^{7x} \) is never zero, we have: \[ 1 + 7x = 0 \] Solving for \( x \): \[ 7x = -1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -\frac{1}{7} \] Thus, the critical number is \( x = -\frac{1}{7} \). In increasing order, since it’s the only critical number we found, it remains: \[ -\frac{1}{7} \] So, critical numbers of the function \( f(x) \) in increasing order: \[ -\frac{1}{7} \] You can enter \( N \) in any blank that you don't need to use.
