The correct Answer is:
To find the interval in which the function \( f(x) = 5x^{\frac{3}{2}} - 3x^{\frac{5}{2}} \) is strictly decreasing for \( x > 0 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Differentiate the function We start by finding the derivative of the function \( f(x) \). \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(5x^{\frac{3}{2}}) - \frac{d}{dx}(3x^{\frac{5}{2}}) \] Using the power rule for differentiation: \[ f'(x) = 5 \cdot \frac{3}{2} x^{\frac{3}{2} - 1} - 3 \cdot \frac{5}{2} x^{\frac{5}{2} - 1} \] This simplifies to: \[ f'(x) = \frac{15}{2} x^{\frac{1}{2}} - \frac{15}{2} x^{\frac{3}{2}} \] Factoring out \( \frac{15}{2} x^{\frac{1}{2}} \): \[ f'(x) = \frac{15}{2} x^{\frac{1}{2}} (1 - x) \] ### Step 2: Determine where the derivative is less than zero To find where the function is strictly decreasing, we need to set the derivative less than zero: \[ f'(x) < 0 \] This leads to: \[ \frac{15}{2} x^{\frac{1}{2}} (1 - x) < 0 \] Since \( \frac{15}{2} x^{\frac{1}{2}} \) is positive for \( x > 0 \), we focus on the term \( (1 - x) \): \[ 1 - x < 0 \implies x > 1 \] ### Step 3: Conclusion Thus, the function \( f(x) \) is strictly decreasing for: \[ x > 1 \] ### Final Answer The interval in which the function is strictly decreasing is \( (1, \infty) \). ---
