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

PLS HELP!! If f(x) = 2x^2-4x and g(x) =5-2x, evaluate f(x)-g(x) for x=5
anastassius [24]
To solve this equation you need to first start by writing out the f(x)-g(X).
The equation should be 2x^2-4x-5+2x. 
You then want to simplify the equation, I got 2x^2-2x-5.
You then want to plug in the x=5 for all the x's in the equation. 
2(5)^2-2(5)-5 would be the equation. 
The answer you get should be 35.

Which scenario best matches the inequality x &gt; 3? A. Joanna needs to be in bed by 10 p.M. It's now just past 7 p.M. How many
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ricardo started studying at 4 p.m and for sure will not stop until after 7 p.m, that means that he will be studying for 3 hours at least, and maybe even longer. So the time he will spend studying is at least 3 hours.

Therefore, x>3, where x is the time Ricardo will spend studying.

The area is equal to 230 CM.
area for rectangle :
area = width times length
area = 7 x 20 = 140CM
area for triangle:
area = 1/2 times base times height
area = 1/2 x 20 x 9 = 90CM

ADD:
140+90 = 230 CM
