Question attached and investigates relationship between zeroes and tangents of cubic function

Mathematics

The tangent lines of the cubic function f(x) = x(x - 2)(x - 6) at the zeros 0, 2 and 6 are y = 12x, y = -8x + 16 and y = 24x - 144

<h3>Part A: The tangent lines of f(x) = x(x - 2)(x - 6)</h3>

The cubic function is given as:

f(x) = x(x - 2)(x - 6)

Expand

f(x) = x³ - 8x² + 12x

Differentiate the function

m = 3x² - 16x + 12

At the point x = 0, we have:

m = 3(0)² - 16(0) + 12

m = 12

Also, we have:

f(0) = 0

A linear equation is represented as:

y = m(x - x₁) + y₁

So, we have:

y = 12(x - 0) + 0

y = 12x

At the point x = 2, we have:

m = 3(2)² - 16(2) + 12

m = -8

Also, we have:

f(2) = 0

A linear equation is represented as:

y = m(x - x₁) + y₁

So, we have:

y = -8(x - 2) + 0

y = -8x + 16

At the point x = 6, we have:

m = 3(6)² - 16(6) + 12

m = 24

Also, we have:

f(6) = 0

A linear equation is represented as:

y = m(x - x₁) + y₁

So, we have:

y = 24(x - 6) + 0

y = 24x - 144

The above means that the tangent lines are:

y = 12x, y = -8x + 16 and y = 24x - 144

From the attached graph, we can see that the tangent lines at the zero values x = 0 and x = 2 intersect the graph of f(x) at the zero value x = 6

<h3>Part B: The tangent lines of f(x) = (x - a)(x - b)(x - c)</h3>

The equation is given as:

f(x) = (x - a)(x - b)(x - c)

To prove the statement using a computer algebra system, simply follow the next steps:

  • Set values for a, b and c
  • Include the following vertices in the plane: (a,f(a)), (b,f(b)) and (c,f(c))
  • Differentiate f(x) i.e g(x) = f'(x)
  • Include the following vertices in the plane: (a,g(a)), (b,g(b)) and (c,g(c))
  • Lastly, plot the following equations: y = g(a)(x - a) + f(a), y = g(b)(x - b) + f(b) and y = g(c)(x - c) + f(c)

See attachment (2) for proof

max said that 36594 is less than 5980 because 3 is less then 5 describe max's error and give the correct answer
Verizon [17]
He was wrong because, although three is greater than five, the value of the three is in the ten thousands place, while the five is in the thousands place. Therefore, the correct answer would be that 36594 is greater than 5980.

PLEASE HURRY WILL MARK BRAINIEST THIS IS AN EASY QUESTION
viva [34]

first qn

4/36=1/9

total no. of ways to roll a dice=36

no. of ways to produce 7=3

(1+6=7, 2+5=7, 3+4=7)

no. of ways to produce 11=1

(5+6=11)

there are 4 ways in total. 4/36 simplify it to be 1/9

second qn im not sure but i think its

1/9 x 50 = 50/9 = 5 x (5/9)

round it off to the smaller whole no. which is 5 so i think its 5 times in 50 trials
