Answer:

The values of a and b are  a=\frac{1}{4} and b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the equation</em>

  f(x) =  {x²                x  ≤ 2

            {ax³ + bx     x > 2  

* We need to find the values of a , b that make the function

 differentiable at x = 2

- <em>At first for f(x) to be continuous at x = 2, substitute x by two in the</em>

<em>  the two expressions and equate them</em>

∵ f(x) = x² at x ≤ 2 and f(x) = ax³ + bx at x > 2

∴ f(2) = (2)² = 4 ⇒ (1)

∴ f(2) = a(2)³ + b(2)

∴ f(2) = 8a + 2b ⇒ (2)

- Equate (1) and (2)

∴ 8a + 2b = 4 ⇒ (3)

* <em>For f(x) to be differentiable when x = 2, the function must be </em>

<em>  continuous when x = 2 and the one-sided derivatives must be </em>

<em>  equal when x = 2</em>

# <u>Remember</u>: If f(x)=ax^{b} , then f'(x)=abx^{b-1}

 If f(x)=ax , then f'(x)=a

 If f(x)=a , then f'(x)=0

∵ f(x) = x²

∴ f'(x) = 2x

- Substitute x by 2

∴ f'(2) = 2(2) = 4

∴ f'(2) = 4 ⇒ (4)

∵ f(x) = ax³ + bx

∴ f'(x) = 3ax² + b

- substitute x by 2

∴ f'(2) = 3a(2)² + b

∴ f'(2) = 12a + b ⇒ (5)

- Equate (4) and (5)

∴ 12a + b = 4 ⇒ (6)

* Now we have system of equations

 8a + 2b = 4 ⇒ (3)

 12a + b = 4 ⇒ (6)

- Multiply equation (6) by -2 to eliminate b

∴ -24 a - 2b = -8 ⇒ (7)

- Add equations (3) and (7)

∴ -16a = -4

- Divide both sides by -16

∴ a = \frac{1}{4}

- substitute the value of a in equation (6)

∴ 12(\frac{1}{4})+b=4

∴ 3 + b = 4

- Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ b = 1

* The values of a and b are  a=\frac{1}{4} and b = 1

Answer:

Down here ↓↓↓↓↓↓

Step-by-step explanation:

Anything below 1 is a reduce

Anything above 1 is an enlarge

Anything equal to 1 is a preserve

1. Reduce, 0.75 < 1

2. Reduce,  4/5 < 1

3. Enlarge,  4.2 > 1

4. Preserve, 8/8 = 1

5. Enlarge, 7/2 > 1

6. Preserve, 1 = 1

7. Reduce, 0.1 < 1

8. Enlarge, 1 2/3 > 1

9. Enlarge, 12 > 1

Given the system of equations, what is the solution?
pychu [463]
Answer is C. By solving x-y=-5 to x=-5+y and converting 2x + y = -1 into 2x + x + 5 = -1 the answer becomes -2 =x. By plugging that into 2 (-2) + y = -1, the answer is y=3. So your answer is C
