Answer:

The rate of change of the function at x = 0.6 is approximately -0.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information from the graph are;

Points (0, 0) and (1, -0.5)

We have that the graph is that of a cubic function, therefore;

f(x) = ax³ + bx² + cx + d

At f'(x) at  (0, 0) and (1, -0.5) = 0 gives;

3ax² + 2bx + c = 0

∴ c = 0

Also

ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0

d = 0

We have

3a(1)² + 2b(1) + 0 = 0

3·a + 2·b = 0..............(1)

a(1)³ + b(1)² + c(1) + d = -0.5

a + b + 0×(1) + 0 = -0.5

a + b = -0.5..........(2)

Multiplying equation (2) by 2 and subtracting it from equation (1) gives;

2 × (a + b = -0.5) = 2·a + 2·b = -1

3·a + 2·b - (2·a + 2·b) = 0 - (-1) = 0 + 1 = 1

a = 1

From

a + b = -0.5, we have;

1 + b = -0.5 = 0

b = -0.5 - 1 = -1.5

The equation becomes

f(x) = x³ - 1.5·x²

The rate of change of the function at x = 0.6 is therefore given as follows;

f'(x) = 3 × x² - 2 × (1.5)·x = 3·x² - 3·x

At x = 0.6, we have;

f'(0.6) = 3·(0.6)² - 3·(0.6)

f'(0.6) = 3×0.6² - 3×0.6 = -0.72

The rate of change of the function at x = 0.6 ≈ -0.72

Q(x)=x^3+ax^2+2b is divided by (x-3) and has a remainder of 4. Find the values of "a" and "b"​
Sati [7]

Answer:

Let p(x) = x3 + ax2 + bx +6

(x-2) is a factor of the polynomial x3 + ax2 + b x +6

p(2) = 0                                                                                      

p(2) = 23 + a.22 + b.2 +6 =8+4a+2b+6 =14+ 4a+ 2b = 0

7 +2 a +b = 0

b = - 7 -2a -(i)                                                                              

x3 + ax2 + bx +6 when divided by (x-3) leaves remainder 3.

p(3) = 3                                                                                      

p(3) = 33 + a.32 + b.3 +6= 27+9a +3b +6 =33+9a+3b = 3

11+3a +b =1 => 3a+b =-10 => b= -10-3a -(ii)                                    

Equating the value of b from (ii) and (i) , we have

(- 7 -2a) = (-10 - 3a)

a = -3                                                                                          

Substituting a = -3 in (i), we get

b = - 7 -2(-3) = -7 + 6 = -1

Thus the values of a and b are -3 and -1 respectively.

Start by going in the order of decimals and what ever you end at, put this number on top
142857/<span>100000
And then you simplify it to the smallest numbers and you have your answer. It can't be simplified so it is just:

At a local college 100 students were asked about their major fields of study. The results are shown below. What is the probabili
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that a student is a liberal arts or female, we have to add together all of the people who were female or liberal arts majors in the study. If we add those together, (15 + 18 + 17 + 20) we get 70. 70/100 can be simplified to 7/10.

70% of kids who visit a doctor have a fever, and 40% of kids who visit a doctor have a sore throat. If the probability that a ki
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

52.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be kids who have a fever, and B be kids who have a sore throat, so

Based on the given information we have

P(A) = 70%, P(B) = 40%, and P(B|A) = 30%   (B|A is read as "B given A", which means probability of B happening given that A has already happened)

We are asked to find P(A|B), the probability of a kid having a fever given that we already know he has a sore throat.

Step 1:  First find P(A and B), this is the probability of a kid having both a fever and a sore throat.  We use the formula

        P(B|A) = P(A and B)/P(A)    

We have 2 of these values listed above, so we plug them in...

       30% = P(A and B)/70%

 This give us a value for P(A and B) which equals 21%  [multiply both sides by 70% to isolate P(A and B), (30%)(70%) = 21%]

Now we flip the equation to P(A|B), which is

     P(A|B) = P(A and B)/P(B)

We have 2 of the values, so we plug them in...

     P(A|B) =  21%/40%

  This gives us a value of 52.5%   (divide 21% by 40%)
