Answer:

No, it can not be applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 1/x²

f(x) is a polynomial that is not continuous

As,

f(x) = 1/0 is undefines

Secondly, it is not differentiable (i.e. the derivative does not exists on the interval given)

Derivative of this function

f'(x) = (1)x^-2

       = -2x^(-2-1)

       = -2x^(-3)

       = -2/x³

      =  -2/x³

f'(0) = -2/0 is undefined

Thus, mean value theorem can not be applied.

ASAP BRAINLIEST !! Luis is given the fraction 4/5. He is told to create an equivalent fraction with a numerator of 32. Explain t
solniwko [45]

Answer: answer 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note : lets make x the missing denominator.

I would take the 4/5 and set it equals to 32/x

we then cross multiply

where it would be 4 * x = 32  * 5

it would then be 4x = 160

we would then divide 160 by 4

x = 160/ 4

and x would be 40

.... therefore the missing denominator is 40.
