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.

Ber [7]

Answer:

  B)  -125a^11

Step-by-step explanation:

(-5a^2)^3·a^5 = (-5)^3·a^6·a^5

  = (-5)^3·a^(2·3)·a^5

  = (-5)^3·a^6·a^5

  = -125·a^(6+5)

  = -125·a^11 . . . . matches choice B

_____

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

How many endpoints are needed to draw four line segments
Paladinen [302]
If these four line segments are connected (kind of like a square) then only 4 endpoints are needed, but if they are all separate line segments, then you would need a maximum of 8 endpoints because any line segment has 2 endpoints and 4 line segments with 2 endpoints a piece equals 8 endpoints in total. 

I hope this helped! :)
