HELP Solve for x: 3x - 4 = 5x + 22

1 answer:

7 0

3x - 4 = 5x + 22
Subtract both sides by 5x
-2x - 4 = 22
Add both sides by 4
-2x = 26
Divide both sides by -2
x = -13
Have an awesome day! :)

Find all values of c in the open interval (a, b) such that f'(c)=(f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)

timama [110]

<h3>Answer: c = 7/4</h3>

================================================

Work Shown:

Compute the function value at the endpoints

$f(x) = \sqrt{4-x}\\\\f(-5) = \sqrt{4-(-5)} = 3\\\\f(4) = \sqrt{4-4} = 0\\\\$

With a = -5 and b = 4, we have

$f'(c) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\\\\f'(c) = \frac{f(4)-f(-5)}{4-(-5)}\\\\f'(c) = \frac{0-3}{9}\\\\f'(c) = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\$

So,

$f(x) = \sqrt{4-x}\\\\f'(x) = -\frac{1}{2\sqrt{4-x}}\\\\f'(c) = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{4-c}} = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\$

Use algebra to solve for c

$-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{4-c}} = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\\frac{1}{2\sqrt{4-c}} = \frac{1}{3}\\\\3 = 2\sqrt{4-c}\\\\2\sqrt{4-c} = 3\\\\\sqrt{4-c} = \frac{3}{2}\\\\4-c = \frac{9}{4}\\\\c = 4-\frac{9}{4}\\\\c = \frac{16-9}{4}\\\\c = \frac{7}{4}\\\\$

In a sample of 800 U.S. adults, 199 think that most celebrities are good role models. Two Two U.S. adults are selected at rand

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a sample of 800 U.S. adults, 199 think that most celebrities are good role models. Two Two U.S. adults are selected at random from the population of all U.S. adults without replacement.

In 800 adults 199 are favourable and remaining 601 are against.

a) The probability that both adults think most celebrities are good role models is ________= Prob of selecting both from 199

= $\frac{199C2}{800C2} \\=0.0616$
