Answer:

fourth number in this sequence is 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The sum of 6 consecutive even numbers is 126.

To find : .what is the fourth number in this sequence.

Solution : We have given

sum of 6 consecutive even numbers is 126.

Let the 6 consecutive even numbers are = x , x +2 , x + 4 , x + 6 ,x + 8 , x + 10

According to question

Sum of all 6 numbers

x + x +2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 + x + 10 = 126 .

On adding like terms

6x + 30 = 126 .

On subtracting both sides by 30.

6x = 126 -30 .

6x = 96.

On dividing both sides by 6

x = 16 .

Then fourth number is x + 6

16 + 6 = 22,

Therefore, fourth number in this sequence is 22.

A book has 500 pages numbered 1,2,3 and so on. How many times does the digit 1 appear in the page numbers?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

$200$

Step-by-step explanation:

This book has 500 pages in total.

We should split up the place values.

1 - 9

One only appears once.

10 - 19

One appears 11 times.

1 + 11

20 - 99

One only appears 8 times.

1 + 11 + 8

Add:

1 + 11 + 8

=> 20

Since the same is for 200-299, and so on. Let us add twenty four times.

20 * 4

=> 80

Looking back to 100-199, there are 120 ones.

Add:

120 + 80

=> 200

write a polynomial function of least degree with integral coefficients that has the given zeros. -(1/3), -i

inessss [21]

Answer:

$f(x)=3x^3+x^2+3x+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

If a real number $-\frac{1}{3}$ is a zero of polynomial function, then

$x-\left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=x+\dfrac{1}{3}$

is the factor of this function.

If a complex number $-i$ is a xero of the polynomial function, then the complex number $i$ is also a zero of this function and

$x-(-i)=x+i\ \text{ and }\ x-i$

are two factors of this function.

So, the function of least degree is

$f(x)=\left(x+\dfrac{1}{3}\right)(x+i)(x-i)=\left(x+\dfrac{1}{3}\right)(x^2-i^2)=\\ \\ =\left(x+\dfrac{1}{3}\right)(x^2+1)=\dfrac{1}{3}(3x+1)(x^2+1)=\dfrac{1}{3}(3x^3+x^2+3x+1)$

If the polynomial function must be with integer coefficients, then it has a form

$f(x)=3x^3+x^2+3x+1$

The graph of f(x)= 3/1+x^2 is shown in the figure to the right. Use the second derivative of f to find the intervals on which f

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Concave Up Interval: $(- \infty,\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3} )U(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} , \infty)$

Concave Down Interval: $(\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} )$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Calculus

Derivative of a Constant is 0.

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Quotient Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Chain Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Second Derivative Test:

Possible Points of Inflection (P.P.I) - Tells us the possible x-values where the graph f(x) may change concavity. Occurs when f"(x) = 0 or undefined
Points of Inflection (P.I) - Actual x-values when the graph f(x) changes concavity
Number Line Test - Helps us determine whether a P.P.I is a P.I

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$f(x)=\frac{3}{1+x^2}$

Step 2: Find 2nd Derivative

1st Derivative [Quotient/Chain/Basic]: $f'(x)=\frac{0(1+x^2)-2x \cdot 3}{(1+x^2)^2}$
Simplify 1st Derivative: $f'(x)=\frac{-6x}{(1+x^2)^2}$
2nd Derivative [Quotient/Chain/Basic]: $f"(x)=\frac{-6(1+x^2)^2-2(1+x^2) \cdot 2x \cdot -6x}{((1+x^2)^2)^2}$
Simplify 2nd Derivative: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3x^2-1)}{(1+x^2)^3}$

Step 3: Find P.P.I

Set f"(x) equal to zero: $0=\frac{6(3x^2-1)}{(1+x^2)^3}$

Case 1: f" is 0

Solve Numerator: $0=6(3x^2-1)$
Divide 6: $0=3x^2-1$
Add 1: $1=3x^2$
Divide 3: $\frac{1}{3} =x^2$
Square root: $\pm \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} =x$
Simplify: $\pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} =x$
Rewrite: $x= \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Case 2: f" is undefined

Solve Denominator: $0=(1+x^2)^3$
Cube root: $0=1+x^2$
Subtract 1: $-1=x^2$

We don't go into imaginary numbers when dealing with the 2nd Derivative Test, so our P.P.I is $x= \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ (x ≈ ±0.57735).

Step 4: Number Line Test

See Attachment.

We plug in the test points into the 2nd Derivative and see if the P.P.I is a P.I.

x = -1

Substitute: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(-1)^2-1)}{(1+(-1)^2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(1)-1)}{(1+1)^3}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3-1)}{(1+1)^3}$
Subtract/Add: $f"(x)=\frac{6(2)}{(2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(2)}{8}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{12}{8}$
Simplify: $f"(x)=\frac{3}{2}$

This means that the graph f(x) is concave up before $x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$ .

x = 0

Substitute: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(0)^2-1)}{(1+(0)^2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(0)-1)}{(1+0)^3}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{6(0-1)}{(1+0)^3}$
Subtract/Add: $f"(x)=\frac{6(-1)}{(1)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(-1)}{1}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{-6}{1}$
Divide: $f"(x)=-6$

This means that the graph f(x) is concave down between and .

x = 1

Substitute: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(1)^2-1)}{(1+(1)^2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(1)-1)}{(1+1)^3}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3-1)}{(1+1)^3}$
Subtract/Add: $f"(x)=\frac{6(2)}{(2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(2)}{8}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{12}{8}$
Simplify: $f"(x)=\frac{3}{2}$

This means that the graph f(x) is concave up after $x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ .

Step 5: Identify

Since f"(x) changes concavity from positive to negative at $x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$ and changes from negative to positive at $x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ , then we know that the P.P.I's $x= \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ are actually P.I's.

Let's find what actual point on f(x) when the concavity changes.

$x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Substitute in P.I into f(x): $f(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{1+(\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3} )^2}$
Evaluate Exponents: $f(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{1+\frac{1}{3} }$
Add: $f(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{\frac{4}{3} }$
Divide: $f(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{9}{4}$

$x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Substitute in P.I into f(x): $f(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{1+(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} )^2}$
Evaluate Exponents: $f(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{1+\frac{1}{3} }$
Add: $f(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{\frac{4}{3} }$
Divide: $f(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{9}{4}$

Step 6: Define Intervals

We know that before f(x) reaches $x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$ , the graph is concave up. We used the 2nd Derivative Test to confirm this.

We know that after f(x) passes $x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ , the graph is concave up. We used the 2nd Derivative Test to confirm this.

Concave Up Interval: $(- \infty,\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3} )U(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} , \infty)$

We know that after f(x) passes $x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$ , the graph is concave up until $x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ . We used the 2nd Derivative Test to confirm this.

Concave Down Interval: $(\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} )$
