Answer:

The largest of three numbers is 38.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The sum of three consecutive even integers is 108.

We have to find the largest of three consecutive even integer.

Consecutive integers are integer having a difference of one between each term . example 14 , 15, 16 ..

consecutive even integers are integers having a difference of two between them such that first term is in the form of 2n , where n is integers.

Consider the three consecutive even integers are 2n , 2n + 2 , 2n + 4

Also, given The sum of three consecutive even integers is 108.

that is 2n + 2n + 2 + 2n + 4 = 108

Simplify, we get,

6n + 6 = 108

Subtract 6 both side, we get,

6n = 102

Divide by 6 both side, we get,

n = 17

Thus, numbers are 2n = 2 × 17 = 34

2n + 2 = 34 + 2 = 36

2n + 4 = 34 + 4 = 38

Thus, The sum of three consecutive even integers is 108 then integers are 34, 36, 38 .

Thus, The largest of three numbers is 38.

Calculus graph please help

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the graph of y = f'(x) and we want to determine the characteristics of f(x).

Part A)

f is increasing whenever f' is positive and decreasing whenever f' is negative.

Hence, f is increasing for the interval:

$(-\infty, -2) \cup (-1, 1)\cup (3, \infty)$

And f is decreasing for the interval:

$\displaystyle (-2, -1) \cup (1, 3)$

Part B)

f has a relative maximum at x = c if f' turns from positive to negative at c and a relative minimum if f' turns from negative to positive to negative at c.

f' turns from positive to negative at x = -2 and x = 1.

And f' turns from negative to positive at x = -1 and x = 3.

Hence, f has relative maximums at x = -2 and x = 1, and relative minimums at x = -1 and x = 3.

Part C)

f is concave up whenever f'' is positive and concave down whenever f'' is negative.

In other words, f is concave up whenever f' is increasing and concave down whenever f' is decreasing.

Hence, f is concave up for the interval (rounded to the nearest tenths):

$\displaystyle (-1.5 , 0) \cup (2.2, \infty)$

And concave down for the interval:

$\displaystyle (-\infty, -1.5) \cup (0, 2.2)$

Part D)

Points of inflections are where the concavity changes: that is, f'' changes from either positive to negative or negative to positive.

In other words, f has an inflection point wherever f' has an extremum point.

f' has extrema at (approximately) x = -1.5, 0, and 2.2.

Hence, f has inflection points at x = -1.5, 0, and 2.2.

Answer:

12.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Not rounded it would be 12.56637

If you are just replacing pi with 3.14. than your answer would be exactly 12.56.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given bi-quadratic equation is:

$x^4+95x^2 -500=0$

Substituting $x^2=a,$ given bi-quadratic equation reduces in the form of following quadratic equation:

$a^2 +95a -500=0\\$

Let us factorize the above quadratic equation:

$a^2 +95a -500=0\\\therefore\: a^2 +100a -5a-500=0\\\therefore\: a(a +100) -5(a+100)=0\\\therefore\: (a +100)(a -5)=0\\\therefore\: (a +100)=0\:\: or \:\: (a -5)=0\\\therefore\: a = - 100\:\: or \:\: a = 5\\\\CASE\: (1)\:\\When\: a = - 100 \implies x^2 = - 100\\\therefore x=\pm \sqrt{-100}\\$

Since square root of a negative number cannot be found, so:

$x \neq \pm \sqrt{-100}\\$

$CASE\: (2)\:\\When\: a =5 \implies x^2 =5\\\therefore x=\pm \sqrt{5}\\$
