The function f(x) is increasing on the interval (-4, 0) ∪ (4, ∞).

Answer:

The intervals of increase are \left(-4, 0\right) \cup \left(4, \infty\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

When a function is increasing, its derivative is positive. So if we want to find the intervals where a function increases, we differentiate it and find the intervals where its derivative is positive.

Let's find the intervals where f(x) = x^4 -32x^2 + 5 is increasing.

First, we differentiate f(x)

\frac{d}{dx} f = \frac{d}{dx} (x^4 -32x^2 + 5)\\\frac{d}{dx} f = \frac{d}{dx}\left(x^4\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(32x^2\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(5\right)\\\frac{d}{dx} f =4x^3-64x

Now we want to find the intervals where \frac{d}{dx} f is positive This is done using critical points, which are the points where \frac{d}{dx} f is either 0 or undefined.

4x^3-64x=0\\4x\left(x^2-16\right)=0\\4x\left(x+4\right)\left(x-4\right)=0\\\\\mathrm{The\:solutions\:are}\\x=0,\:x=-4,\:x=4

These points divide the number line into four intervals

(-\infty,-4);(-4,0);(0,4);(4,\infty)

Let's evaluate \frac{d}{dx} f at each interval to see if it's positive on that interval.

\left\begin{array}{cccc}Interval&x-value&\frac{d}{dx}f& Verdict\\x

The intervals of increase are \left(-4, 0\right) \cup \left(4, \infty\right)

A population has parameters
Ket [755]

Based on the population mean, the mean of the distribution sample means would be 204.6. The standard deviation would be 0.22.

<h3>What are the mean and standard deviation of the distribution?</h3>

The mean of the distribution sample means is the same as the population means which is 204.6.

The standard deviation can be found as:

σₓ = σ / √n

= 3.1 / √197

= 0.22

A campground has cabins that can each hold 28 campers there are 148 campers visiting the campground.how many cabins are full if
Rainbow [258]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of cabins

y: number of campers

We now write the equation that models the problem:

y = 28x

We know that there are 148 campers.

Therefore, substituting y = 148 in the given equation we have:

148 = 28x

From here, we clear the value of x:

x = \frac{148}{28}\\x = 5.29

Therefore, the number of full cabins is:

x = 5

Answer:

The number of full cabins is:

x = 5

If y = kx, and x = 3 and y = 15, calculate k.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation is y = kx and x equals 3 while y equals 15, in order to solve this equation we are going to have to substitute the variables with their answers:

x = 3

y = 15

15 = 3k

Now we divide 3 from both 3x and 15 to segregate the variable x:

15/3 = 3k/3

5 = k

Now to check our work we are going to substitute 5 for the variable k, 3 for the variable x and 15 for the variable y.

y = kx

15= (5)(3)

15 = 15

Tada, I hope this helps you!
