Find all intervals on which the graph of f(x)=(x-1)/(x+3) is concave upward

To find concavity we need to find the second derivative.
Use quotient rule to find f'(x)=4/(x+3)^2
Then use chain rule to find f''(x)=-8/(x+3)^3
To find potential inflection points, we need to find all x values where the second derivative is equal to 0 or is undefined.

Set the numerator and denominator equal to 0 and solve.

(x+3)^3=0
x+3=0
x= -3

Now plug a value less than -3 and greater than -3 into the second derivative to find where the concavity is upward (positive number).

Since f''(-4) is positive, that means that f(x) is concave up on the interval (-infinity, -3).

I need help with this geometry question!
maria [59]

Answer:

because MATH is a rhombus

=> MA = MH = HT = AT

=>  y + 10 = 5y - 6

⇔ 4y = 16

⇔ y = 4

with y = 4 => MH = 4 + 10 = 14

but MH = MA

=> MA = 14

Ok so... W is week. It would be 20+2w. Because we start with the plants hight (20) and them it grows two cm per week, so 2w.

What is the factored form of the function f(x)=x^3+8x^2+5x−50?
Inga [223]

Answer:

the factors of  f(x)=x^3+8x^2+5x-50 are (x-2)(x+5)(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factorise the function f(x)=x^3+8x^2+5x-50

If a number is a factor of this function than it must be completely divisible by last co-efficient. Our last co-efficient is -50

Checking few numbers:

f(1)=(1)^{3}+8(1)^2+5(1)-50\\f(1)=1+8+5-50\\f(1)=-32\\Now \ putting \ x= 2 \\f(2)=(2)^{3}+8(2)^2+5(2)-50\\f(2)=8+8(4)+10-50\\f(2)=8+32+10-50\\f(2)=0

So, f(2)=0 which means x-2 is a factor of the given function. Now we will perform long division of x^3+8x^2+5x-50 by (x-2) to find other factors

The long division is shown in figure attached.

After long division we get: x^2+10x+25

The equation x^2+10x+25 can be further simplified as: (x+5)(x+5) or (x+5)^2

So, the factors of  f(x)=x^3+8x^2+5x-50 are (x-2)(x+5)(x+5)
