Let f(x)=5x3−60x+5 input the interval(s) on which f is increasing. (-inf,-2)u(2,inf) input the interval(s) on which f is decreas
o-na [289]
Answers:

(a) f is increasing at (-\infty,-2) \cup (2,\infty).

(b) f is decreasing at (-2,2).

(c) f is concave up at (2, \infty)

(d) f is concave down at (-\infty, 2)

Explanations:

(a) f is increasing when the derivative is positive. So, we find values of x such that the derivative is positive. Note that

f'(x) = 15x^2 - 60


So,


f'(x) \ \textgreater \  0
\\
\\ \Leftrightarrow 15x^2 - 60 \ \textgreater \  0
\\
\\ \Leftrightarrow 15(x - 2)(x + 2) \ \textgreater \  0
\\
\\ \Leftrightarrow \boxed{(x - 2)(x + 2) \ \textgreater \  0} \text{   (1)}

The zeroes of (x - 2)(x + 2) are 2 and -2. So we can obtain sign of (x - 2)(x + 2) by considering the following possible values of x:

-->> x < -2
-->> -2 < x < 2
--->> x > 2

If x < -2, then (x - 2) and (x + 2) are both negative. Thus, (x - 2)(x + 2) > 0.

If -2 < x < 2, then x + 2 is positive but x - 2 is negative. So, (x - 2)(x + 2) < 0.
 If x > 2, then (x - 2) and (x + 2) are both positive. Thus, (x - 2)(x + 2) > 0.

So, (x - 2)(x + 2) is positive when x < -2 or x > 2. Since

f'(x) \ \textgreater \  0 \Leftrightarrow (x - 2)(x + 2)  \ \textgreater \  0

Thus, f'(x) > 0 only when x < -2 or x > 2. Hence f is increasing at (-\infty,-2) \cup (2,\infty).

(b) f is decreasing only when the derivative of f is negative. Since

f'(x) = 15x^2 - 60

Using the similar computation in (a), 

f'(x) \ \textless \  \ 0 \\ \\ \Leftrightarrow 15x^2 - 60 \ \textless \  0 \\ \\ \Leftrightarrow 15(x - 2)(x + 2) \ \ \textless \  0 \\ \\ \Leftrightarrow \boxed{(x - 2)(x + 2) \ \textless \  0} \text{ (2)}

Based on the computation in (a), (x - 2)(x + 2) < 0 only when -2 < x < 2.

Thus, f'(x) < 0 if and only if -2 < x < 2. Hence f is decreasing at (-2, 2)

(c) f is concave up if and only if the second derivative of f is positive. Note that

f''(x) = 30x - 60

Since,

f''(x) \ \textgreater \  0&#10;\\&#10;\\ \Leftrightarrow 30x - 60 \ \textgreater \  0&#10;\\&#10;\\ \Leftrightarrow 30(x - 2) \ \textgreater \  0&#10;\\&#10;\\ \Leftrightarrow x - 2 \ \textgreater \  0&#10;\\&#10;\\ \Leftrightarrow \boxed{x \ \textgreater \  2}

Therefore, f is concave up at (2, \infty).

(d) Note that f is concave down if and only if the second derivative of f is negative. Since,

f''(x) = 30x - 60

Using the similar computation in (c), 

f''(x) \ \textless \  0 &#10;\\ \\ \Leftrightarrow 30x - 60 \ \textless \  0 &#10;\\ \\ \Leftrightarrow 30(x - 2) \ \textless \  0 &#10;\\ \\ \Leftrightarrow x - 2 \ \textless \  0 &#10;\\ \\ \Leftrightarrow \boxed{x \ \textless \  2}

Therefore, f is concave down at (-\infty, 2).

In the diagram, JKLM ~ EFGH . Find the values of x,y, and z.<br> pls
Marianna [84]

Answer: The answer for the diagram JKLM x:25

Step-by-step explanation: the diagram is a trapezium and it is made up of a triangle and rectangle. if you find the base of the triangle it will equivalent to the length of the rectangle. so the angle is 65 so we use sin to find it which will be opp/hyp. therefore sine 65=x/30,x=0.8268286949*30=24.8048603847. which is approximately 25

How many more ways can 10 juniors running for the positions of president, vice president, secretary, treasurer be selected when
zubka84 [21]
10 juniors are running for 4 positions. 
There are ten people who can get into the first spot
Nine people for the second
8 people for the third
7 for the fourth
10x9x8x7= 5040 different ways. 

For the sophomores: 12x11x10x9x8= 95040
However, the positions are identical which means that the order doesn't matter. (There's a difference between A getting postion 1, B for 2, C for 3, D for 4 and B for 1, A for 2, C for 3, D for 4)

There are 5 identical positions, therefore we divide this by 5! (5x4x3x2x1)= 120
95040/120= 792
Juniors have 5040 positions, sophomores have 792
