That minimum value is. y (2) = 2 3 â 3 Â· 2 2 + 2 = 8 â 12 + 2 = â2. b) y = â2 x 3 â 3 x 2 + 12 x + 10. At x = 1 there is a maximum of y = 17. At x = â2 there is a minimum of y = â10. c) y = 2 x 3 + 3 x 2 + 12 x â 4. Since f ' (x) = 0 has no real solutions, there are no extreme values. d) y = 3 x 4 â 4 x 3 â 12 x 2 + 2.
Indirectly, physics has contributed to forensic science via the invention of the microscope, the electron microscope, the mass spectrometer, and optical spectrometers; but directly, its role in forensic science has been minimal.
As an experimental science, physics utilizes the scientific method to formulate and test hypotheses that are based on observation of the natural world. The goal of physics is to use the results of these experiments to formulate scientific laws, usually expressed in the language of mathematics, which can then be used to predict other phenomena.
