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.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

59

Step-by-step explanation:

1) so you start with the mean being 72x5=360

2)100+42+87+66=295

3) 360-295=65

(you get the 5 from the amount of numbers there are) P.S sorry if I'm wrong or this doesn't help

What is the solution set of 7x 2 + 3x = 0? {0, 3/7} {0, -3/7} {0, -4/7}
34kurt
X(7x+3)=0
x=0
or
7x=-3
x=-3/7

so,
(0,0) or (-3/7,0)

What is the solution to the inequality -4 x < 8?
alekssr [168]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • The solution of the inequality is x < -2.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>Let's simplify the inequality first.</u>

  • => -4x < 8
  • => -4x/4 < 8/4
  • => -x < 2
  • => x < -2

Hence, <u>the solution of the inequality is</u><u> x < -2.</u>

Hoped this helped.

Thirteen less than eight times a number is three more than four times the number.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

8x - 13 = 4x + 3              Add 13

8x = 4x + 3 + 13             Combine

8x = 4x + 16                   Subtract 4x

8x - 4x = 16                    Combine

4x = 16                           Divide by 4

x = 16/4

x = 4
