Answer:

\large\boxed{x\in(-2,\ 2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=12x-x^3

Calculate the derivative of the function:

f'(x)=\left(12x-x^3\right)'=(12x)'-\left(x^3\right)'=12-3x^2

Calculate the zeros of the derivative:

f'(x)=0\Rightarrow12-3x^2=0\qquad\text{add}\ 3x^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\3x^2=12\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\x^2=4\to x=\pm\sqrt4\\\\x=\pm2

Let's check the derivative sign:

f'(x)>0\iff12-3x^2>0\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\-3(x^2-4)>0\\\\-3(x^2-2^2)>0\qquad\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\-3(x-2)(x+2)>0\\^{\qquad x=2\qquad x=-2

Sketch a parabola open down

(before the brackets there is the number -3 < 0)

Look at the picture.

Where the derivative is negative, the function decreases.

Where the derivative is positive, the function increases.

Therefore your answer is:

x\in(-2,\ 2)

It would be 82 2/3 since 1/3 minis 2/3 would equal -1/3 you subtract that from 83 and get 82 2/3

sesenic [268]
There are 200 students in the group.

To find this, you divide 70 by 0.35 (35%). This will give you 200. To check this, multiply 200 by 0.35 and you will get 70. Thus making 200 the answer.

I hope this helps!

Write the following as a root in radical form 2^-4/5
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Given that:

=2^(-4/5)

This means that 2 is the base and -4/5 is the exponent.

To change it in radical form:

  • firstly the denominator would be written with radical sign
  • Then the negative sign with 4 will be removed by inverting the base.
  • Then the fraction will be simplified according to the exponent (power)
  • All the steps are performed below:

=\sqrt[5]{2^{-4} } \\=\sqrt[5]{1/2^4}\\ =\sqrt[5]{1/16}

i hope it will help you!
