An interval over which the function, f(x) = -2x³ - 3x +5 is guaranteed to have a zero is [0,2]

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<em>If equation ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0 has roots x₁ , x₂ , and x₃ then</em>

x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = - \frac{b}{a}

x_1 x_2 + x_1 x_3 + x_2 x_3 = \frac{c}{a}

x_1 x_2 x_3 = - \frac{d}{a}

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

Given:

f(x) = -2x^3 - 3x + 5

<h2>Option A:</h2>

f(x) = -2x^3 - 3x + 5

f(-3) = -2(-3)^3 - 3(-3) + 5 = 68

f(-2) = -2(-2)^3 - 3(-2) + 5 = 27

<em>Because both of the value of f(-3) and f(-2) are positive , we cannot guarateed the value of the function will be zero at interval [-3,-2]</em>

\texttt{ }

<h2>Option B:</h2>

f(x) = -2x^3 - 3x + 5

f(0) = -2(0)^3 - 3(0) + 5 = 5

f(-2) = -2(-2)^3 - 3(-2) + 5 = 27

<em>Because both of the value of f(0) and f(-2) are positive , we cannot guarateed the value of the function is zero at interval [-3,-2]</em>

\texttt{ }

<h2>Option C:</h2>

f(x) = -2x^3 - 3x + 5

f(0) = -2(0)^3 - 3(0) + 5 = 5

f(2) = -2(2)^3 - 3(2) + 5 = -17

<em>Because the value of f(0) and f(2) have different sign , we can guarateed the value of the function will be zero at interval [0,2] , i.e. there is zero between 5 and -17 → -17 < 0 < 5</em>

\texttt{ }

<h2>Option D:</h2>

f(x) = -2x^3 - 3x + 5

f(4) = -2(4)^3 - 3(4) + 5 = -135

f(2) = -2(2)^3 - 3(2) + 5 = -17

<em>Because both of the value of f(4) and f(2) are negatve , we cannot guarateed the value of the function is zero at interval [2,4]</em>

Help me please!!!!!!
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Both figures have a perimeter of 112 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 5:

You are given a 6-sided shape, but only 4 sides. To find the perimeter, you need to account for the lengths of the other two sides. As all the angles are right angles, the length of the top horizontal side is equal to the combined length of the bottom two horizontal sides. Similarly the length of the left vertical side is equal to the combined length of the right two vertical sides. Because of this, you actually don't need to find the lengths of the unknown sides to answer the question.

This means the perimeter is:

P=(31 \times 2)+(25 \times 2)\\P=62+50\\P=112

Question 6:

Exactly the same process as above. Just double the longest vertical and horizontal sides (since the sum of the corresponding shorter sides is equal). You'll notice the longest horizontal side is 31, and the longest vertical side is 25...exactly the same as the previous question.

Therefore, the perimeter will again be 112 inches.

These two questions illustrate the difference between area and perimeter. Even though the perimeter of the two shapes is the same, the area of the second shape is larger than the area of the first.

Mrs Thomas earns 18.80 per hour for the first 40 hours of work in a week .He earns 1 and a half times and that amount per hour f
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Thomas earns 18.80 per hour for the first 40 hours of work in a week. This means that the total amount that he earned in the first

40 hours of work would be

40 × 18.8 = $752

He earns 1 and a half times and that amount per hour for each hour he works over 40 hours in a week. This amount per hour would be

1.5 × 18.8 = $28.2

Last week, Mr Thomas worked 45.5 hours. The extra hours that he worked is 45.5 - 40 = 5.5 hours.

Amount earned for 5.5 hours is

5.5 × 28.2 = $155.1

Total amount that Mr Thomas earned is

752 + 155.1 = $907.1
