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.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x \div 2 + 2) +  \frac{(x \div 2 + 2)}{2}  + x

its hard to determine without the known value of x, but the above would be the equation needed to solve it if you knew what x was

Can somebody please help me i need this urgently.

Answer:

multiple choice is worth 2

short response is worth 4

Step-by-step explanation:

23x + 10y = 86

28x + 5y = 76

solve by elimination

multiply the top by -1 and the bottom by 2

-23x + -10y = -86

56x + 10y = 152

add them

33x = 66

x = 2

with x = 2 plug x into one of the equations

23x + 10y = 86

23(2) + 10y = 86

46 + 10y = 86

10y = 40

y = 4

x = 2 and y = 4 so

multiple choice is worth 2

short response is worth 4
