Step 1:
Find the difference between the two numbers.
$2.40-$1.44= $0.96
Step 2:
Divide by the original number.
$0.96/1.44= 0.667
Step 3:
Multiply by 100 to find percent increase.
0.667 * 100= 66.7% rounded to one decimal place or 67% rounded
Hope this helped! :)
I think the value of x is 15
1.) The interval of the value of x is from -5 to 1, inclusive. Remember that what is asked is the absolute value, thus the sign does not matter even if you have to subtract x from 5. Thus, the maximum value would be obtained if the x is smaller, which is 1. The minimum value is obtained when x=-5.
Absolute maximum value:
x = - 5f(-5) = ║5 - 7(-5)^2║ = ║-170║=
170Absolute minimum value:
x = 1f(1) = ║5 - 7(1)^2║ = ║-2║=
2
2.) The Mean Value Theorem (MVT) applies to functions that are continuous and differentiable on the closed and open interval of a to b, respectively. Since the function is a quadratic function, MVT can be applied. Then, this means that there is a value of c which is between a and b. This could be determined using this formula according to MVT:

The differentiated form would be f'(x) = -2x. Then,


Thus, x = -1, x = -1/2, and x=0 all lie in the function 4-x^2.
The second one because the second one equals to 12 while all the other equal to 6
