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.

On a piece of paper, graph y>x-1. Then determine which answer choice
zepelin [54]

The graph that matches the given equation is y≥x-1 is Graph A.

Option: C.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The given equation y≥x-1 is a linear inequality equation.

Graphing Linear Inequalities differs from graphing regular linear equations. That is it has certain rules to be followed to draw the graph.

  1. First, rearrange the equation as y in the left and other terms in the opposite side.
  2. Check for the line: y= , y≤ and y≥ comes with straight line where as y< and y> comes with a dotted line.
  3. Shading: If y> greater than or y≥ greater than or equal is present then the space above the line has to be shaded. If y< less than or y≤ less than or equal  is present then the space below the line has to be shaded.

For the given equation y≥x-1,

The line will be solid passing through (0,-1) and (3,2) since it has y≥. Also, the region above the line is shaded.

So the graph A is the graph that matches the equation y≥x-1.

X/x-2 + x-1/x+1= -1<br> Can someone walk me through the steps of this problem? Much appreciated. :)

Answer:

x = 0 or x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

\dfrac{x}{x-2}+\dfrac{x-1}{x+1}=-1

Multiply the two denominators to get the same denominator:

Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction to get the new numerator of the first fraction.

Multiply the numerator of the second fraction by the denominator of the first fraction to get the new numerator of the second fraction.

\implies \dfrac{x(x+1)}{(x-2)(x+1)}+\dfrac{(x-2)(x-1)}{(x-2)(x+1)}=-1

Add the numerators and keep the denominator so that there is now one fraction:

\implies \dfrac{x(x+1)+(x-2)(x-1)}{(x-2)(x+1)}=-1

Simplify the numerator by expanding the brackets:

\implies \dfrac{x^2+x+x^2-3x+2}{(x-2)(x+1)}=-1

\implies \dfrac{2x^2-2x+2}{(x-2)(x+1)}=-1

Simplify the denominator by expanding the brackets:

\implies \dfrac{2x^2-2x+2}{x^2-x-2}=-1

Multiply both sides by the denominator of the left side:

\implies 2x^2-2x+2=-1(x^2-x-2)

Simplify and move everything to the left side:

\implies 2x^2-2x+2=-x^2+x+2

\implies 3x^2-3x=0

Factor:

\implies 3x(x-1)=0

Therefore:

\implies 3x=0 \implies x=0

\implies x-1=0 \implies x=1

Therefore, x = 0 or x = 1
