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

ANTONII [103]1 year ago

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.

Use the net to find the surface area of the rectangular prism.
Komok [63]

Answer:

220

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area is  given by

SA = 2 ( lw+wh+lh)  where  l is length h is height and w is width

SA = 2(3*4 + 3*14+ 4*14)

     = 2(12+42+56)

    = 2(110)

    = 220

dwight bought 10 acres of land and built a house on 2.0 acres. dwight wanted to plant beets on the remaining 8.0 acres. if it ta
aleksklad [387]

Using mathematical operations and unit conversions, the number of beets that Dwight can grow on the 8 acres is <u>3,885 beets</u>.

<h3>What are mathematical operations?</h3>

Mathematical operations include the use of basic math operators to calculate the values of mathematical statements.

The math operators include addition, multiplication, division, subtraction, exponentiation, and modulus.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

The measurement of the land = 10 acres

The measurement of the house on the land = 2 acres

The remaining space on the land = 8 acres

The number of beets on 1/8 (0.125) hectare = 150 beets

1 hectare = 2.47105 acres

8 acres = 3.23749 hectares (8/2.47105)

If 0.125 hectares = 150 beets

3.23749 hectares = 150/0.125 x 3.23749

= 3,885 beets

Thus, the number of beets that Dwight can grow on the 8 acres is <u>3,885 beets</u>.
