What is the maximum number of relative extrema contained in the graph of

Mathematics

1 answer:

maxonik [38]1 year ago

5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

an expression (polynomial) with the highest exponent = n has n zeros (solutions, where y = 0, although some of them can be imaginary numbers, or some can fall together into 1 solution).

and it has max. n-1 relative extrema ("bumps" in the curve, where the curve changes direction from up to down or vice versa).

so, in our case of

f(x) = 3x⁵ - x³ + 4x - 2

we have max. 5-1 = 4 relative extrema.

find the margin of error to use for this sample mean sushi based on a sample of 35 people he average out of pieces of sushi a pe

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

{13.7756,18.2244}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample size, the margin of error can be calculated with the formula $M=Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ where Z is the critical value for the desired confidence level, σ is the population standard deviation, and n is the sample size. Therefore, our margin of error for a 90% confidence level is:

$M=Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=1.645*(\frac{8}{\sqrt{35}})=2.2244$

The formula for a confidence interval is $CI=\bar{x}+M$ where x-bar is the sample mean. Therefore, the 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of sushi pieces a person can eat is:

$CI=\bar{x}\pm[M]=16\pm2.2244={13.7756,18.2244}$

Therefore, we are 90% confident that the true mean amount of sushi pieces a person can eat is contained within the interval {13.7756,18.2244}

Find the polynomial of minimum degree, with real coefficients, zeros at

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{p(x)=4x^3-20x^2+4x+300}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{If}\ x=4\pm3i\ \text{and}\ x=-3\ \text{are the zeros of a polynomial, then it has a form:}\\\\p(x)=\bigg(x-(4-3i)\bigg)\bigg(x-(4+3i)\bigg)\bigg(x-(-3)\bigg)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x-4+3i)(x-4-3i)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=\underbrace{\bigg((x-4)+3i\bigg)\bigg((x-4)-3i\bigg)}_{\text{use}\ (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2}(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=\bigg((x-4)^2-(3i)^2\bigg)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$p(x)=(x^2-2(x)(4)+4^2-3^2i^2)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use}\ i^2=-1\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+16-9(-1))(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+16+9)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+25)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use FOIL}:\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\p(x)=\bigg((x^2)(x)+(x^2)(3)+(-8x)(x)+(-8x)(3)+(25)(x)+(25)(3)\bigg)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^3+3x^2-8x^2-24x+25x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)$

$\text{The y-intercept is at 300}.\\\\\text{For}\ w(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+a_{n-2}x^{n-2}+...+a_1x+a_0\\\\\text{y-intercept is}\ a_0\\\\\text{Therefore for}\ p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\\text{y-intercet is}\ 75\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\75\bigg(r(x)\bigg)=300\qquad\text{divide both sides by 75}\\\\r(x)=4\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)(4)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\p(x)=(x^3)(4)+(-5x^2)(4)+(x)(4)+(75)(4)\\\\p(x)=4x^3-20x^2+4x+300$
