5 0

Answer:

<h2>x = -7 or x = 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\qquad(*)\\\\\\2x^2+12x-14=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x^2+6x-7=0\qquad\text{add 7 to both sides}\\\\x^2+2(x)(3)=7\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2=9\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2}_{(*)}=7+9\\\\(x+3)^2=16\Rightarrow x+3=\pm\sqrt{16}\\\\x+3=-4\ or\ x+3=4\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\x=-7\ or\ x=1

Let f be the function given by f(x) = x+4(x−1)(x+3) on the closed interval [−5,5]. On which closed interval is the function f gu
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x+4(x^2+2x-3)=4x^2+9x-12

f'(x)=8x+9

f'(x)=0,gives x=-9/8

f(-5)=-5+4(-5-1)(-5+3)=-5+4*-6*-2=43

f(-9/8)=-9/8+4(-9/8-1)(-9/8+3)

=-9/8+4*-17/8*15/8

=-9/8-255/16

=-273/16=-17 1/16

f(5)=4*5^2+9*5-12=100+45-12=133

absolute maximum=133

absolute minimum=-17 1/16
