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.

Simplify and write the trig expression in terms of sin and cos
dsp73

We have:

cot(-x)cos(-x)+sin(-x)=-\frac{1}{f(x)}

Then we use trigonometric identities to change the negative sign of the trigonometric functions, so:

-sin(x)-cot(x)cos(x)=-\frac{1}{f(x)}

We clear f(x):

f(x)=\frac{1}{sin(x)+cot(x)cos(x)}=\frac{1}{sin(x)+\frac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}cos(x)}=\frac{1}{sin(x)+\frac{cos^2(x)}{sin(x)}}

we simply what we can:

f(x)=\frac{1}{\frac{sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)}{sin(x)}}=sin(x)

Thus, the correct answer is;

f(x)=sin(x)

Find the measure of the indicated angle.
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

the answer is 96°

Step-by-step explanation:

it is an isosceles triangle as it's 2 sides are equal.

for an isosceles triangle, the angles made by the equal sides with the third side are equal.

and the sum of all angles in a triangle = 180°

42 + 42 + x = 180

x = 180 - 84

X = 96°
