Its always 2 does not matter what is defined to x

Say your function is
f(x) = 2x + 3
If f(x) is 2 & you want to find x, replace f(x) with 2:
2=2x+3
And solve for x:
-1=2x
x=-1/2
Hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP AND EXPLAIN!!

prisoha [69]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

This isnt a cartisean coordinate plane so A is wrong. One of our points is at

$- 3 + i$

Because it coincide with real number 3, and negative imaginary number i.

Conjugates are terms with opposite inverse of terms.

So our conjugates is

$- 3 - i$

Avaluate 2^3x-1 for x=1

DENIUS [597]

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

4 or 7 (Check the explanation to see which one your equation <em>actually</em> is.

<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>

One thing I want to clarify for you, It's Evaluate, not Avaluate.

Okay so, we want to find the value of 2^3x-1 and we know x = 1.

You didn't really clarify if the expression was $2^{3x-1}$ or $2^{3x}-1$ , so I'll be doing both:

For $2^{3x-1}$ , we should plug in x to get $2^{3(1)-1}$ and then simplify to get $2^{2}$ .

2 to the power of 2 or $2^{2}$ is equal to 2 * 2 or 4.

The second one, $2^{3x}-1$ , we should plug in x to get $2^{3(1)}-1$ and then to become $2^{3}-1$ . 2 to the power of 3 or $2^{3}$ is 8 and then minus 1 is 7.

For f(x)=4sin(x2) between x=0 and x=3, find the coordinates of all intercepts, critical points, and inflection points to two dec

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Intercepts:

x = 0, y = 0

x = 1.77, y = 0

x = 2.51, y = 0

Critical points:

x = 1.25, y = 4

x = 2.17 , y = -4

x = 2.8, y = 4

Inflection points:

x = 0.81, y = 2.44

x = 1.81, y = -0.54

x = 2.52, y = 0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the intercept by setting f(x) = 0

$4sin(x^2) = 0$

$sin(x^2) = 0$

$x^2 = n\pi$ where n = 0, 1, 2,3, 4, 5,...

$x = \sqrt(n\pi)$

Since we are restricting x between 0 and 3 we can stop at n = 2

So the function f(x) intercepts at y = 0 and x:

x = 0

x = 1.77

x = 2.51

The critical points occur at the first derivative = 0

$f^{'}(x) = 4cos(x^2)2x = 8xcos(x^2) = 0$

$xcos(x^2) = 0$

$x = 0$ or

$cos(x^2) = 0$

$x^2 = \frac{\pi}{2} + n\pi$ where n = 0, 1, 2, 3

$x = \sqrt{\pi(n+1/2)}$

Since we are restricting x between 0 and 3 we can stop at n = 2

So our critical points are at

x = 1.25, $y = f(1.25) = 4sin(1.25^2) = 4$

x = 2.17 , $y = f(2.17) = 4sin(2.17^2) = -4$

x = 2.8, $y = f(2.8) = 4sin(2.8^2) = 4$

For the inflection point, we can take the 2nd derivative and set it to 0

$f^[''}(x) = 8(cos(x^2) - xsin(x^2)2x) = 8cos(x^2) - 16x^2sin(x^2) = 0$

$cos(x^2) = 2x^2sin(x^2)$

$tan(x^2) = \frac{1}{2x^2}$

We can solve this numerically to get the inflection points are at

x = 0.81, $y = f(0.81) = 4sin(0.81^2) = 2.44$

x = 1.81, $y = f(1.81) = 4sin(1.81^2) = -0.54$

x = 2.52, $y = f(2.52) = 4sin(2.52^2) = 0.27$

Steve likes to entertain friends at parties with "wire tricks." Suppose he takes a piece of wire 60 inches long and cuts it into

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a) the length of the wire for the circle = $(\frac{60\pi }{\pi+4}) in$

b)the length of the wire for the square = $(\frac{240}{\pi+4}) in$

c) the smallest possible area = 126.02 in² into two decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

If one piece of wire for the square is y; and another piece of wire for circle is (60-y).

Then; we can say; let the side of the square be b

so 4(b)=y

b= $\frac{y}{4}$

Area of the square which is L² can now be said to be;

$A_S=(\frac{y}{4})^2 = \frac{y^2}{16}$

On the otherhand; let the radius (r) of the circle be;

2πr = 60-y

$r = \frac{60-y}{2\pi }$

Area of the circle which is πr² can now be;

$A_C= \pi (\frac{60-y}{2\pi } )^2$

$=( \frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2$

Total Area (A);

A = $A_S+A_C$

= $\frac{y^2}{16} +(\frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2$

For the smallest possible area; $\frac{dA}{dy}=0$

∴ $\frac{2y}{16}+\frac{2(60-y)(-1)}{4\pi}=0$

If we divide through with (2) and each entity move to the opposite side; we have:

$\frac{y}{18}=\frac{(60-y)}{2\pi}$

By cross multiplying; we have:

2πy = 480 - 8y

collect like terms

(2π + 8) y = 480

which can be reduced to (π + 4)y = 240 by dividing through with 2

$y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}$

∴ since $y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}$ , we can determine for the length of the circle ;

60-y can now be;

= $60-\frac{240}{\pi+4}$

= $\frac{(\pi+4)*60-240}{\pi+40}$

= $\frac{60\pi+240-240}{\pi+4}$

= $(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+4})in$

also, the length of wire for the square (y) ; $y= (\frac{240}{\pi+4})in$

The smallest possible area (A) = $\frac{1}{16} (\frac{240}{\pi+4})^2+(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+y})^2(\frac{1}{4\pi})$

= 126.0223095 in²

≅ 126.02 in² ( to two decimal places)
