Hi there!
![\large\boxed{(-\infty, \sqrt[3]{-4}) \text{ and } (0, \infty) }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clarge%5Cboxed%7B%28-%5Cinfty%2C%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B-4%7D%29%20%5Ctext%7B%20and%20%7D%20%280%2C%20%5Cinfty%29%20%7D)
We can find the values of x for which f(x) is decreasing by finding the derivative of f(x):

Taking the derivative gets:

Find the values for which f'(x) < 0 (less than 0, so f(x) decreasing):
0 = -8/x³ - 2
2 = -8/x³
2x³ = -8
x³ = -4
![x = \sqrt[3]{-4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B-4%7D)
Another critical point is also where the graph has an asymptote (undefined), so at x = 0.
Plug in points into the equation for f'(x) on both sides of each x value to find the intervals for which the graph is less than 0:
f'(1) = -8/1 - 2 = -10 < 0
f'(-1) = -8/(-1) - 2 = 6 > 0
f'(-2) = -8/-8 - 2 = -1 < 0
Thus, the values of x are:

Answer:
30.7
Step-by-step explanation:
It's 30.7 because 707/23
The next number will be 19 since you keep adding 2 each time
Answer:
2,535
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes here is an example:_
x/4 + 5/6 = 2
The LCD of 4 and 6 is 12 but we can also multiply through by 24 to clear the fractions:-
x/4 * 24 + 5/6 * 24 = 2 + 24
6x + 20 = 40
This will give us the same result if we multiplied through by 12.
