Consider the function f ( x ) = − 2 x 3 + 27 x 2 − 108 x + 9 . For this function there are three important open intervals: ( − [

infinity] , A ) , ( A , B ) , and ( B , [infinity] ) where A and B are the critical numbers. Find A and B

Answer:

<em>A=3 and B=6</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Increasing and Decreasing Intervals of Functions</u>

Given f(x) as a real function and f'(x) its first derivative.

If f'(a)>0 the function is increasing in x=a

If f'(a)<0 the function is decreasing in x=a

If f'(a)=0 the function has a critical point in x=a

As we can see, the critical points may define open intervals where the function has different behaviors.

We have

f ( x ) = - 2 x^3 + 27 x^2 - 108 x + 9

Computing the first derivative:

f' ( x ) = - 6 x^3 + 54 x - 108

We find the critical points equating f'(x) to zero

- 6 x^3 + 54 x - 108=0

Simplifying by -6

x^2 -9 x +18=0

We get the critical points

x=3,\ x=6

They define the following intervals

(-\infty,3),\ (3,6),\ (6,+\infty)

Thus A=3 and B=6

Three people invest in a treasure dive, each investing the amount listed below. The dive results in 40 gold coins. Apportion tho
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Alice: 20 coins, Ben: 16 coins, and Carlos: 4 coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the dive results in 40 gold coins.

We know that:

Alice: $7,600 Ben: $5,900 Carlos: $1,400.

So they have $ 14900 in total.

Now we will divide that money by 40.

x=\frac{14900}{40}\\\\x=372.5

So 1 gold coin costs $ 372.5. Now we will calculate how much they can get for the money they have.

A=\frac{7600}{372.5}=20.4\\\\B=\frac{5900}{372.5}=15.8\\\\C=\frac{1400}{372.5}=3.75\\

We conclude that:

Alice: 20 coins, Ben: 16 coins, and Carlos: 4 coins.
