Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: The quotient is not a number at all. It's simply undefined.

Discussion:

Consider the numbers "a" and "b" and further suppose that

a/0 = b

Multiplying both sides by 0 gives

(a/0) * 0 = b * 0

Cancelling the highlighted 0s gives a = 0!. Something is wrong here as "a" is not equal to zero! The error was produced by assuming the divison by 0 yield a number.

You will encounter this "divide by zero" matter several times in a Calculus courses.

Over which interval is the graph of f(x)=-x^2+3x+8

loris [4]

Answer:

The answer for this question is (-infinity,1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

because when f(x) is increasing f'(x) > 0

-2x + 3 > 0

-2x > -3

x< 3/2 or 1.5

The average value of a function f over the interval [−2,3] is −6 , and the average value of f over the interval [3,5] is 20. Wha

Xelga [282]

Answer:

The average value of $f$ over the interval $[-2,5]$ is $\frac{10}{7}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that function $f$ is continuous and integrable in the given intervals, by integral definition of average we have that:

$\frac{1}{3-(-2)} \int\limits^{3}_{-2} {f(x)} \, dx = -6$ (1)

$\frac{1}{5-3} \int\limits^{5}_{3} {f(x)} \, dx = 20$ (2)

By Fundamental Theorems of Calculus we expand both expressions:

$\frac{F(3)-F(-2)}{3-(-2)} = -6$

$F(3) - F(-2) = -30$ (1b)

$\frac{F(5)-F(3)}{5-3} = 20$

$F(5) - F(3) = 40$ (2b)

We obtain the average value of $f$ over the interval $[-2, 5]$ by algebraic handling:

$F(5) - F(3) +[F(3)-F(-2)] = 40 + (-30)$

$F(5) - F(-2) = 10$

$\frac{F(5)-F(-2)}{5-(-2)} = \frac{10}{5-(-2)}$

$\bar f = \frac{10}{7}$

The average value of $f$ over the interval $[-2,5]$ is $\frac{10}{7}$ .
