$\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ f(x_2)}}-{{ f(x_1)}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average\ rate\\
of\ change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\stackrel{y}{f(x)}= -3x+2 \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=-3\\
x_2=4
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(4)-f(-3)}{4-(-3)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{[-3(4)+2]~~-~~[-3(-3)+2]}{4+3}\implies \cfrac{-10~~-~~[11]}{7}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-21}{7}\implies \cfrac{-3}{1}\implies -3$

For f(x)=4sin(x2) between x=0 and x=3, find the coordinates of all intercepts, critical points, and inflection points to two dec

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Intercepts:

x = 0, y = 0

x = 1.77, y = 0

x = 2.51, y = 0

Critical points:

x = 1.25, y = 4

x = 2.17 , y = -4

x = 2.8, y = 4

Inflection points:

x = 0.81, y = 2.44

x = 1.81, y = -0.54

x = 2.52, y = 0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the intercept by setting f(x) = 0

$4sin(x^2) = 0$

$sin(x^2) = 0$

$x^2 = n\pi$ where n = 0, 1, 2,3, 4, 5,...

$x = \sqrt(n\pi)$

Since we are restricting x between 0 and 3 we can stop at n = 2

So the function f(x) intercepts at y = 0 and x:

x = 0

x = 1.77

x = 2.51

The critical points occur at the first derivative = 0

$f^{'}(x) = 4cos(x^2)2x = 8xcos(x^2) = 0$

$xcos(x^2) = 0$

$x = 0$ or

$cos(x^2) = 0$

$x^2 = \frac{\pi}{2} + n\pi$ where n = 0, 1, 2, 3

$x = \sqrt{\pi(n+1/2)}$

Since we are restricting x between 0 and 3 we can stop at n = 2

So our critical points are at

x = 1.25, $y = f(1.25) = 4sin(1.25^2) = 4$

x = 2.17 , $y = f(2.17) = 4sin(2.17^2) = -4$

x = 2.8, $y = f(2.8) = 4sin(2.8^2) = 4$

For the inflection point, we can take the 2nd derivative and set it to 0

$f^[''}(x) = 8(cos(x^2) - xsin(x^2)2x) = 8cos(x^2) - 16x^2sin(x^2) = 0$

$cos(x^2) = 2x^2sin(x^2)$

$tan(x^2) = \frac{1}{2x^2}$

We can solve this numerically to get the inflection points are at

x = 0.81, $y = f(0.81) = 4sin(0.81^2) = 2.44$

x = 1.81, $y = f(1.81) = 4sin(1.81^2) = -0.54$

x = 2.52, $y = f(2.52) = 4sin(2.52^2) = 0.27$

Homer is giving some cookies to each of

Stells [14]

Answer:

7 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 brothers

First , Second, Third

Let the total number cookies be represented by A

1 cookie = 1

Working backwards, we start from the third brother

If we work backwards

It means he gave everything away

We start from the youngest

He was given 1/2 of what was left and 1/2 a cookie

This means,

1/2 + 1/2 = 1

The second brother

He got half of what is left and 1/2 a cookies

Half of what is left from brother

= What the youngest brother got + 1/2 + 1/2 a cookie

= 1 + 1/2 + 1/2

= 1.5 + 1/2

= 2 cookies

For the first brother

He got 1/2 of the cookies + 1/2 cookie

= 1.5 × 2 + 1/2 + 1/2 cookies

= 3 1/2 + 1/2

= 4 cookies

The first brother got 4 cookies

The second brother got 2 cookies

The third broth got 1 cookies
