If $f'(x) = -g(x)$ and $g(x) = x + 2\ln x$, what can be said about the relationship between $f(x)$ and $x + 2\ln x$?

  • $f(x)$ is the negative derivative of $x + 2\ln x$
  • $f(x)$ is the antiderivative of $x + 2\ln x$
  • $f(x)$ is the derivative of $x + 2\ln x$
  • $f(x)$ is the negative antiderivative of $x + 2\ln x$ (correct)

Given the function $g(x) = x + 2\ln x$, which of the following transformations would result in a vertical stretch by a factor of 3?

  • $3g(x) = 3x + 6\ln x$ (correct)
  • $g(x) = 3x + 2\ln x$

Study Notes

Function Analysis

  • A function g(x) is defined as g(x) = x + 2lnx
  • The domain of g(x) is 0.75 < x < 0.176
  • The function f(x) is defined as f(x) = 1 - x + (1/2)(1 + ln x)
  • The derivative of f(x) is f'(x) = -g(x)/x
  • f(3) is calculated as 1 - 3 + (1/2)(1 + ln3)
  • f(1) is calculated as 1 - 1 + (1/2)(1 + ln1), and ln 1 equals 0; therefore, f(1) = 1/2
  • x = 3 is a value
  • x = 1 is a value
