M(x) = 4x^3 - 5x^2 - 7x
Let us first find the zeros of the function.
That is when it is equal to zero.

m(x) = 4x^3 - 5x^2 - 7x  = 0
x(4x^2 - 5x - 7) = 0.  Therefore x = 0 or 4x^2 - 5x - 7 = 0.
Using a quadratic function calculator to solve 4x^2 - 5x - 7
x = 2.09, -0.84
Therefore the zeros are x =-0.84, 0, 2.09 for the function m(x).

The intervals observed are imagining  that the zeros are on the number line:
x<-0.84,    -0.84<x<0,  0<x<2.09,  x>2.09.

For each of this range we would test the function with a number that falls in the range.

The function is decreasing in the interval where it is less than 0.
For x<-0.84, let us test x = -1, m(x) = 4x^3 - 5x^2 - 7x = 4(-1)^3 - 5(-1)^2 - 7(-1) = -4 -5 +7 = -2,    -2 < 0, so it is decreasing here.

For  -0.84<x<0, let us test x = -0.5, m(x) = 4x^3 - 5x^2 - 7x = 4(-0.5)^3 - 5(-0.5)^2 - 7(-0.5) = -0.5 -1.25 +3.5 = 1.75,  1.75 >0. It is not decreasing.


For  0<x<2.09, let us test x = 1, m(x) = 4x^3 - 5x^2 - 7x = 4(1)^3 - 5(1)^2 - 7(1) = 4 -5 -7 = -8,  -8 <0. It is decreasing.

For  x>2.09, let us test x = 3, m(x) = 4x^3 - 5x^2 - 7x = 4(3)^3 - 5(3)^2 - 7(3) = 108 -45 -21 = 42,  42 >0. It is not decreasing.

So the function is decreasing in the intervals:

x < -0.84,  & 0<x<2.09.

½ (8x+4) = ¼ (8+16x)
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Both sides of the equation are equal to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

½ (8x+4) = ¼ (8+16x)

(1/2*8x) + (1/2*4) = (1/4*8) + (1/4*16x)

4x + 2 = 2 + 4x

(4x - 4x) + 2 = 2 (+ 4x - 4x)

2 = 2

Can you help please ASAP
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

External angle equals to the sum of opposite internal angles

z - 41° + z - 20° = z + 40°

2z - 61° = z + 40°

2z - z - 61° = 40°

z - 61° = 40

z = 40° + 61°

z = 101°

Find the area (shaded) and round to the tenths place if necessary.
fomenos

Answer:

9π - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Depends on what the question stated was pi (π). The area of the circle is 9(3 squared) * π. the shaded area is the area of the circle - the area of the triangle. The area of the triangle is base * high / 2. If the diameter of the circle (6) is what we use as the base, then 3 would be the high, making the area 9. This means the shaded area would be 9π - 9.
