As you progress in math, it will become increasingly important that you know how to express exponentiation properly.

y = 2x3 – x2 – 4x + 5  should be written    <span>y = 2^x3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5.  The 
" ^ " symbol denotes exponentiation.

I see you're apparently in middle school.  Is that so?  If so, are you taking calculus already?  If so, nice!

Case 1:  You do not yet know calculus and have not differentiated or found critical values.  Sketch the function          </span>y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5, including the y-intercept at (0,5).  Can you identify the intervals on which the graph appears to be increasing and those on which it appears to be decreasing?

Case 2:  You do know differentiation, critical values and the first derivative test.  Differentiate  y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5 and set the derivative = to 0:

dy/dx = 6x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0.  Reduce this by dividing all terms by 2:

dy/dx = 3x^2 - x - 2 = 0    I used synthetic div. to determine that one root is x = 2/3.  Try it yourself.  This leaves the coefficients of the other factor, (3x+3); this other factor is x = 3/(-3) = -1.  Again, you should check this.

Now we have 2 roots:  -1 and 2/3

Draw a number line.  Locate the origin (0,0).  Plot the points (-1, 0) and (2/3, 0).  This subdivides the number line into 3 subintervals:

(-infinity, -1), (-1, 2/3) and (2/3, infinity).

Choose a test number from each interval and subst. it for x in the derivative formula above.  If the derivative comes out +, the function is increasing on that interval; if -, the function is decreasing.

Ask all the questions you want, if this explanation is not sufficiently clear.

Answer:

Option 3 - (-0.7,1)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Function  y=2x^3-x^2-4x+5

To find : Over which interval is the function decreasing?

Solution :

First we plot the graph using graphing calculator.

Refer the attached figure below.

Now, Examining the graph

From -\infty to (-0.667,6.63) the graph is increasing as the curve is increasing.

From (-0.667,6.63) to (1,2) the graph decreasing as the curve is decreasing.

From  (1,2) to \infty the graph is increasing as the curve is increasing.

So, The interval in which the function is decreasing is given by (-0.667,1)

Round to nearest tenth,  (-0.7,1)

Therefore, Option 3 is correct.

If the temperature started at 8 degrees celcius at Noon and it dropped 10 degrees over the next 5 hours
leonid [27]

Answer:

The answer is "\bold{2^{\circ}\ C}"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

noon temperature= 8^{\circ} C

Total change in next 5 hours = 10^{\circ} C

Calculating the final temperature:

\text{final temperature = noon temperature - changes in 5 hours}

                            = 8^{\circ} -10^{\circ} \\\\=- 2^{\circ} \ C

WILL ANSWER FIRST RIGHT ANSWER AS BRAINIEST
Ket [755]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the given value of sum of interior angles with exclusion of one to be 1070 then we can write it as

1070=180(n-2) where n is the number of sides required here.

Making n the subject of the formula then following step by step

n-2=\frac {1070}{180}

n=\frac {1070}{180}+2\\n=7.9444444444444\approx 8

Therefore, the shape is octagon and it has 8 sides.

......... my algebra....

The graph represents a function but the table does not. The reason for this is that one input value (70) in the table is associated with two output values (54.6 and 53.11), which is a sure sign that we do NOT have a function here.
