I could use some help with this one. What do you think? I would think that it does exist because we are given "on [1,9]". I assume "on [1,9]" means that we are looking for the minimum value for g(x) that occurs when x is between 1 and 9 - although i have never seen it put like that ("on [1,9]") have you? if we were only looking for the minimum value with no restraint then that would be undefined because we would be looking for -(9/x^2), the derivative of g(x), to be equal to zero which is undefined. please let me know your thoughts on this one and let me know if you think I am not on the right track with what i have said above. thank you so much. I think that the answer is 3.
