3,897.003 in expanded form is:
3,000 + 800 + 90 + 7 + 0.003
To solve this, you have to know that the first derivative of a function is its slope. When an interval is increasing, it has a positive slope. Thus, we are trying to solve for when the first derivative of a function is positive/negative.
f(x)=2x^3+6x^2-18x+2
f'(x)=6x^2+12x-18
f'(x)=6(x^2+2x-3)
f'(x)=6(x+3)(x-1)
So the zeroes of f'(x) are at x=1, x=-3
Because there is no multiplicity, when the function passes a zero, he y value is changing signs.
Since f'(0)=-18, intervals -3<x<1 is decreasing(because -3<0<1)
Thus, every other portion of the graph is increasing.
Therefore, you get:
Increasing: (negative infinite, -3), (1, infinite)
Decreasing:(-3,1)
Answer: 904.32 cubic units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for a sphere's volume is V = 
Substitute pi for 3.14 and radius for 6. 6^3 = 216

Multiply them together, the answer is 904.32 cubic units.
Remark
You cannot give an answer to this unless you are give the fastest speed of a swimmer. That stat is not an easy one to decide upon. At what distance for example or do you eliminate distance? Since this is a college level question, I don't think it unreasonable that you have to research raw distance over fastest time.
The fastest speed I can find is 100 meters in 46.91 seconds. That means that the actual speed of the swimmer is 100 meters / 46.91 = 2.132 meters / second.
Givens
Set up a proportion with the numbers found and given
Speed of ball / speed of swimmer = 21.12 / 1
Speed of ball = x
Solution
Speed of swimmer = 2.132 m/s
x / 2.132 = 21.12 / 1 Multiply Both sides by 2.132
x = 21.12 * 2.132 / 1
x = 45.02 m/s
Answer
45.02 m/s
Answer:
$128
Step-by-step explanation:
your looking for 16/8, divide 16 by 3, leaving you with 5.333...
now times that by $24, and you have your answer hope this helps
