In your lab, a substance's temperature has been observed to follow the function T(x) = (x + 5)3 + 7. The turning point of the gr

aph is where the substance changes from a liquid to a solid. Explain to your fellow scientists how to find the turning point of this function?

A turning point occurs when the velocity is equal to zero, but the acceleration is not equal to zero. 

t(x)=(x+5)^3+7

dt/dx=3(x+5)^2

d2t/dx2=6(x-5)

dt/dx=0 only when x=-5

However, since d2t/dx2(-5)=0, this point is an inflection point, not a turning point.

So there is no turning point for this function.

Now in this problem, it is even easier than the above to show that there is no turning point.  A turning point by definition is when the derivative or velocity changes sign.  Since in this case v=3(x+5)^2, for any value of x, v≥0, and thus never becomes negative, so it never changes from a positive to negative velocity because velocity in this instance is a squared function.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 4 = angle 1 and angle 3 =angle 2        Corresponding angles for two        parallel lines BD and AE

Triangle AED ||| BDE                                       Angle angle congruent

...                                                                       By compendo and dividendo

Thus proved

Since two lines are parallel we have corresponding angles equal and also

sides will be proportional in similar triangles

Using that and adjusting compendo and dividendo we get the desired result
