We are given the function below;

f(x)=-2x^2-4x

PART A

We then proceed to find if the function has a minimum or maximum value. To find if the function has a minimum or maximum value. If the x^2 coefficient is positive, the function has a minimum. If it is negative, the function has a maximum.

ANSWER: From the above, we can see that x^2 is negative, hence the function has a maximum

PART B and C

To find the minimum or maximum value, we would plot the graph of the f(x). The graph can be seen below.

From the graph, the black point helps answer part A and part B.

ANSWER: The function's maximum value is f(x)=2.

This is the point where the slope of the graph is equal to zero

ANSWER: The maximum value then occurs at x= -1

We can also solve this by differentiating the function.

\begin{gathered} f(x)=-2x^2-4x \\ f^{\prime}(x)=-4x-4 \\ At\xi maxmum\text{ }f^{\prime}(x)=0 \\ -4x-4=0 \\ -4x=4 \\ x=-\frac{4}{4} \\ x=-1 \\ \therefore\text{The max}imum\text{ value occurs at x=-1} \\ \text{Inserting the value of x into the function, we have} \\ f(x)=-2(-1)^2-4(-1) \\ f(x)=-2+4 \\ f(x)=2 \\ \therefore\text{The function max}imum\text{ value is 2} \end{gathered}

prove that sin theta cos theta = cot theta is not a trigonometric identity by producing a counterexample
Zolol [24]

Answer:

To prove that ( sin θ cos θ = cot θ ) is not a trigonometric identity.

Begin with the right hand side:

R.H.S = cot θ = \frac{cos \ \theta}{sin \ \theta}

L.H.S = sin θ cos θ

so, sin θ cos θ ≠ \frac{cos \ \theta}{sin \ \theta}

So, the equation is not a trigonometric identity.

=========================================================

<u>Anther solution:</u>

To prove that ( sin θ cos θ = cot θ ) is not a trigonometric identity.

Assume θ with a value and substitute with it.

Let θ = 45°

So, L.H.S = sin θ cos θ = sin 45° cos 45° = (1/√2) * (1/√2) = 1/2

R.H.S = cot θ = cot 45 = 1

So, L.H.S ≠ R.H.S

So, sin θ cos θ = cot θ is not a trigonometric identity.

In the diagram below, what is the relationship between the number of triangles and the perimeter?
Eduardwww [97]

The perimeter "P" is equal to the length of the base of one triangle multiplied by the "n" number of triangles in the figure plus two times the length of another side. The equation for the perimeter is P = 5n + 14.

We are given triangles. The triangles are arranged in a certain pattern. The length of the base of each triangle is equal to 5 units. The length of the other two sides is 7 units each. We conclude that all the triangles are isosceles. We need to find the relationship between the number of triangles and the perimeter of the figure. Let the perimeter of the figure having "n" number of triangles be represented by the variable "P".

P(1) = 14 + 5(1)

P(2) = 14 + 5(2)

P(3) = 14 + 5(3)

We can see and continue the pattern. The relationship between the perimeter and the number of triangles is given below.

P(n) = 14 + 5n

Use the coordinate plane to help you identify the length of each leg then use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of CD
Nitella [24]

Answer:

CE= 9cm, DE= 5cm, CD= 10.2956cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E be the point of the other triangle.

Using Pythagoras' Theorem,

CD= square root symbol (CE^2 + DE^2)

= square root symbol (9^2+5^2)

= 10.2956cm (6 sf)

On a cold day, the temperature in a certain city changed −18.5°F over 7.4 hours.
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

-2.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature decreased 18.5 degrees F in 7.4 hours.

-

-18.5/7.4 = -2.5 degrees F

The average change in temperature over the course of 7.4 hours is -2.5 degrees F.
