Answer:

The absolute maximum of f(x) on [-3, 4] is 138 and the absolute minimum of f(x) on [-3, 4] is -237.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the absolute extrema values of f(x) = 6x^3 - 9x^2 - 108x + 6  on the closed interval [−3, 4] you must:

1. Locate all critical values. We need to find the derivative of the function and set it equal to zero.

\frac{d}{dx}f(x)= \frac{d}{dx}\left(6x^3-9x^2-108x+6\right)=\\\\f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(6x^3\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(9x^2\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(108x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(6\right)\\\\f'(x)=18x^2-18x-108

18x^2-18x-108=0\\18\left(x^2-x-6\right)=0\\18\left(x+2\right)\left(x-3\right)=0\\\\\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}\\x=-2,\:x=3

2. Evaluate f(x) at all the critical values and also at the two values -3 and 4

\left\begin{array}{cc}x&f(x)\\-3&87\\-2&138\\3&-237\\4&-186\end{array}\right

3. The absolute maximum of f(x) on [-3, 4] will be the largest number found in Step 2, while the absolute minimum of f(x) on [-3, 4] will be the smallest number found in Step 2.

Therefore,

The absolute maximum of f(x) on [-3, 4] is 138 and the absolute minimum of f(x) on [-3, 4] is -237.

It is convenient to use a graphing calculator for this. The graph shows the maximum and minimum are not at the ends of the interval, so could be found by differentiating the function and setting that derivative to zero. The function would then need to be evaluated for those solutions {-2, 3}.

The absolute minimum on the interval is -237 at x=3.
The absolute maximum on the interval is 138 at x=-2.

Slope=-7 ;(4,-30)<br> what is the equation?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

y=-7x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

use formula to find the equation when you know slope and a point

it is: y-y1 = m(x-x1)

plug in values

y-(-30) = -7(x-4)

y+30 = -7x + 28

- 30 from both sides

y = -7x -2

Students in a middle school must choose to take either band or chorus. in a given academic year, 60% of the pupils choose band a
Alja [10]
60% choose band......40% choose chorus

30% who are taking band are girls......30% of 60% is (0.3 * 0.6) = 0.18 or 18%..so 18% are girls.
70% who take chorus are girls....70% of 40% is (0.7 * 0.4) = 0.28 or 28%...so 28% are girls.

18% + 28%  = 46%....so a total of 46% taking band and chorus are girls.....so that leaves (100% - 46%) = 54% ( or 0.54) are boys
