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)

Answer:

139, I am sorry if I'm wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

a1=11; d=19-11=8

Determine algebraically whether the function is even, odd, or neither even nor odd.
m_a_m_a [10]
For a function (fn) to be odd:
f(x) = - f(-x)
For a fn to be even:
f(x) = f(-x)
For a fn to be neither even nor odd
f(x) != f(-x)  [No Relation]

(-x)^n = x^n   for n -> even
(-x)^n = -x^n  for n -> odd
In your example:

f(x) = -4x^3 + 4x
f(-x) = -4 (-x)^3 + 4 (-x)^1  ( 3 and 1 are odd powers )
f(-x) = 4x^3 - 4x   (take -1 common to do the check)
f(-x) = -( -4x^3 + 4x ) = - f(x)  [between the bracket was the original fn]

f(x) = - f(-x)   
so the function is odd also called symmetric about the origin

Which is the correct first line for dividing the function
Firlakuza [10]

Given function is f(x) = x³ -12x +16.

We can write it as x³ +0x² -12x +16.

We need to write the numbers in order from left to right, so it would be {1, 0, -12, 16}.

Given factor is x -2 = 0, that means x = 2. So we need to divide the numbers by 2.

So correct way to divide the function would be 2 L 1, 0, -12, 16.

Hence, option C is correct.

Tony is trying to find the solution of the system 2x - 4y +12 using elimination 3x + 4y = 48 He wrote these steps to solve the p
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: Solution: (12, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 4y = 12

3x + 4y = 48

Add both equations

5x = 60

Divide both sides by 5

x = 12

We can use the value of x to find y

3x + 4y = 48

3 (12) + 4y = 48

36 + 4y = 48

Subtract 36 from both sides

4y = 12

Divide both sides by 4

y = 3

Solution: (12, 3)
