Answer:

(a) The critical number of f(x) are x=-4, 1

(b)

  • Increasing for (-\infty, -4)
  • Decreasing for (-4, 1)
  • Increasing for  (1, \infty)

(c)

  • relative maximum (-4, 112)
  • relative minimum (1, -13)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The critical numbers of a function are given by finding the roots of the first derivative of the function or the values where the first derivative does not exist. Since the function is a polynomial, its domain and the domain of its derivatives is (-\infty, \infty). Thus:

\frac{df(x)}{dx}  = \frac{d(2x^3+9x^2-24x)}{dx} =6 x^2+18x -24\\6 x^2+18x -24=0\\\boxed{x=-4, x=1}

(b)

  • A function f(x) defined on an interval is monotone increasing on (a, b) if for every x_1, x_2 \in (a, b): x_1 implies f(x_1)
  • A function f(x) defined on an interval is monotone decreasing on (a, b) if for every x_1, x_2 \in (a, b): x_1 implies f(x_1)>f(x_2)

Combining  the domain (-\infty, \infty) with the critical numbers we have the intervals (-\infty, -4), (-4, 1) and (1, \infty). Note that any of the points are included, in the case of the infinity it is by definition and the critical number are never included because the function monotony is not defined in the critical points, i.e. it is not monotone increasing or decreasing. Now, let's check for the monotony in each interval, for this, we check for the sign of the first derivative in each interval. Evaluating in each interval the first derivative (one point is enough), we obtain the monotony of the function to be:

  • Increasing for (-\infty, -4)
  • Decreasing for (-4, 1)
  • Increasing for  (1, \infty)

(c) From the values obtained in (a) so the relative extremum are the points (-4, 112) and (1, -13). The y-values are found by evaluating the critical numbers in the original function. Since the first derivative decreases after passing through  x=-4 and increases after passing through the point x=1 we have:

  • relative maximum (-4, 112)
  • relative minimum (1, -13)

Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial?
mart [117]

Hi there! :)

Answer:

\huge\boxed{D,  x -4}

---- Starting with: ----

x² - 10x + 24

Since we have a leading coefficient of 1, simply find two numbers that sum up to -10 and multiply into 24.

By guessing and checking, we get the numbers -6 and -4. Put these into factors:

(x - 6)(x - 4)

Therefore, a binomial present in factored form is D. x - 4

Write two numbers, neither of which are 8, they have a GCF of 8
Temka [501]

Answer:

16, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

1 List the factors of each number.

Factors of 16 : 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

Factors of 24 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

2 Find the largest number that is shared by all rows above. This is the GCF.

GCF = 8

There are 2 Senators from each of 50 states. We wish to make a 3-Senator committee in which no two members are from the same sta
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

a) rCn = 1176

b) 2352

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Each committee should be formed with 3 members ( no two members could be of the same state) then

Let´s  fix a senator for any of the 50 states so in the new condition we need to combined 49 senators in groups of 2 then

rCn =  n! / (n - r )! *r!

rCn =  49!/ (49 - 2)!*2!

rCn =  49*48*47! / 47!*2!

rCn = 49*48 /2

rCn = 1176

So we can choose in 1176 different ways a senator for a given state

b) To answer this question we have to note, that, 1176 is the number of ways a committee can be formed with senators of different sate (taking just one senator for state ) if we have 2 senators we need to multiply that figure by 2.

1176*2 = 2352
