Show that the function has at least one zero between x=1 and x=2

Mathematics
1 answer:
ANTONII [103]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

\displaystyle f(x) = 7x^5-9x^4-x^2

And we want to show that it has at least one zero between <em>x</em> = 1 and <em>x</em> = 2.

Because the function is a polynomial, it is everywhere continuous.

Evaluate the function at <em>x</em> = 1 and <em>x</em> = 2:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} f(1) & = 7(1)^5 - 9(1)^4 - (1)^2 \\ \\ & = -3\end{aligned}

And:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} f(2) & = 7(2)^5 - 9(2)^4 - (2)^2 \\ \\ & = 76 \end{aligned}

Therefore, because the function changes signs from <em>x</em> = 1 to <em>x</em> = 2 and is continuous on the interval [1, 2], by the intermediate value theorem, there must exist at least one zero in the interval.

iragen [17]

Answer:

$163

Step-by-step explanation:

Bob worked 26 hours and earn $7 per hour. Multiply 26 with 7:

26 x 7 = 182

Bob made a total of $182 last month.

Bob then spent $19. Subtract 19 from the total earned:

182 - 19 = 163

Bob has $163 left.

find the area and perimeter of a rectangle with a width of 2 1/3inch and a length of 5 2/5inches. show your work please.
aleksandrvk [35]
Area: If you multiply 2 1/3 by 5 2/5, you get an answer of about: 12.6, which means the area is about: 12.6in. squared.
Perimeter: If you add 2 1/3+ 2 1/3+ 5 2/5+ 5 2/5 you get an answer of about: 15.47. So, the perimeter is about 15.47in.

Note: If you aren't allowed to use a calculator on this test, you should probably multiply the numbers yourself so you get show the work and get the answer in a fraction, which is probably what they want. If you are allowed to use calculators, all the information you need is right here.
