Take the derivitive
f'(x)=-4x^3+4x
find where it equals 0
0=-4x(x^2-1)
0=-4x(x-1)(x+1)
at x=-1, 0, 1

those are critical points
put those on number line
test points between to see if positive or  negative
f'(-2)=(+)
f'(-0.5)=(-)
f'(0.5)=(+)
f'(2)=(-)
see attachment
remember the max is where the slope changes from positive to negative
at -1 and 1 only

If A ⊂ B, then which of the following describes the relationship between A and B?
Amanda [17]

A set is a well-defined collection of objects. Each object in a set is called an element of the set. Two sets are equal if they have exactly the same elements in them.

A set is a subset of another set if all elements of the set are elements of the set . In other words, the set is contained inside the set . The subset relationship is denoted as A ⊂ B .The relationship of one set being a subset of another is  also called inclusion  or we can say Set B may have more elements than A does.

Option 4 .Set B may have more elements than A does is the right answer.

Eleanor scores 680 on the mathematics part of the SAT. The distribution of SAT math scores in recent years has been Normal with
Katen [24]

Answer:

  1. Elanor's standardized score is  1.19
  2. Gerald's standardized score is 0.72
  3. Elanor has higher score

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare Elanor's and Gerald's math scores, we need to standardize them and calculate their z-scores.

z score can be calculated using the formula

z=\frac{X-M}{s} where

  • X is the student's score
  • M is the mean score of the exam
  • s is the standard deviation of the exam

Elanor's standardized score is:

z(e) = \frac{680-554}{106} ≈ 1.19

Gerald's standardized score is:

z(g)= \frac{27-24.7}{3.2} ≈ 0.72

Since z(e) > z(g), Elanor has higher score
