It’s the third option because there are 4 sets of positive 2.
Answer:
Hi there!
Your answer is:
81
Step-by-step explanation:
First, simplify within parentheses.
-4-3-2 = -7-2 = -9
(-9)^2
The negative is within the parentheses, so it goes away when squared
(-9)^2 = -9× -9= 81
Hope this helps
I agree. The answer is choice B
=========================================================
f ' (1) is shown to be positive
f ' (2) is shown to be positive as well
There are no critical values between x = 1 and x = 2, so f ' (x) is positive on the interval 1 < x < 2, so f(x) is increasing on this interval
All of this points to either choice A or choice B
--------------------------------
Similarly,
f ' (3) is negative
f ' (4) is negative
so f ' (x) is negative where 3 < x < 4 due to no other critical values being between x = 3 and x = 4
Based on these facts alone, the answer is either choice B or choice D
But we know that it can't be choice D as we determined it was between A and B. This rules out choice D
So all that's left is choice B
alr thanks for the free points
