Find and classify the global extrema of the following function:
f(x) = 7 cos(x)
f(x) = 7 cos(x) has period 2 π
Look for extrema over the domain of f(x) restricted to the interval 0<=x<2 π:
f(x) = 7 cos(x) when 0<=x<2 π
Find the critical points of f(x):
Compute the critical points of 7 cos(x)
To find all critical points, first compute f'(x):
( d)/( dx)(7 cos(x)) = -7 sin(x):
f'(x) = -7 sin(x)
Solving -7 sin(x) = 0 yields x = 0 or x = π:
x = 0, x = π
f'(x) exists for all x such that 0<=x<2 π:
-7 sin(x) exists for all x such that 0<=x<2 π
The critical points of 7 cos(x) occur at x = 0 and x = π:
x = 0, x = π
The domain of 7 cos(x) on 0<=x<2 π is {x element R : 0<=x<2 π}:
The endpoints of {x element R : 0<=x<2 π} are x = 0 and 2 π
Evaluate 7 cos(x) at x = 0, π and 2 π:
The open endpoints of the domain are marked in gray
x | f(x)
0 | 7
π | -7
2 π^- | 7
The largest value corresponds to a global maximum, and the smallest value

corresponds to a global minimum:
The open endpoints of the domain are marked in gray
x | f(x) | extrema type
0 | 7 | global max
π | -7 | global min
2 π^- | 7 | global max
Remove the points x = 2 π^- from the table

These cannot be global extrema, as the value of f(x) here is never achieved:
x | f(x) | extrema type
0 | 7 | global max
π | -7 | global min
Add 2 π k for k element Z to each extremum:
x = 0->x = 2 π k for k element Z
x = π->x = 2 π k + π for k element Z

f(x) = 7 cos(x) has a family of global minima and a family of global maxima:
Answer: | f(x) has a global maximum at x = 2 π k for k element Z
f(x) has a global minimum at x = 2 π k + π for k element Z

How many solutions does this equation have?
drek231 [11]

The answer is infinitely many solutions because 0 = 0.

If you don't seem to see where I got 0 = 0, look at the equation,

4b – 4b = 0

first lets do the math on the left side.

4b - 4b  is equal to 0.

so lets put 0 on the left side, now lets look at the equation all together,

0 = 0,

and this means that it has infinitely many solutions.

The reason why it is not no solution because no solution means when there are no answers to the equation. For example, the solution is not true, such as the equation 24 ≠ 29. This is a no solution equation. One solution can be 4x = 20, as x = 5, concluding it being one solutions.

Which equation represents a line that passes through (4, 1/3) and has a slope of 3/4
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

y = 3/4x - 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3/4x + b

1/3 = 3/4(4) + b

1/3 = 3 + b

-8/3 = b

y = 3/4x - 8/3
