Answer:
the first answer
Step-by-step explanation:
1/8 of the absolute value is 1/8 positive
anything from the absolute value is positive because absolute value is the value of how far away the number is from zero.
Answer:
Less than
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 = 0.25 and 2/3 is approximately 0.67 so 1/4 is less than 2/3
Answer:
f(n) = -n^2 -3n +5
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the formula is ...
f(n) = an^2 +bn +c
Then we have ...
f(1) = 1 = a(1^2) +b(1) +c
f(2) = -5 = a(2^2) +b(2) +c
f(3) = -13 = a(3^2) +b(3) +c
__
Here's a way to solve these equations.
Subtract the first equation from the second:
-6 = 3a +b . . . . . 4th equation
Subtract the second equation from the third:
-8 = 5a +b . . . . . 5th equation
Subtract the fourth equation from the fifth:
-2 = 2a
a = -1
Then substituting into the 4th equation to find b, we have ...
-6 = 3(-1) +b
-3 = b
and ...
1 = -1 +(-3) +c . . . . . substituting "a" and "b" into the first equation
5 = c
The formula is ...
f(n) = -n^2 -3n +5
Answer:
f(x) = 3x⁴ -
- 17x + 
Step-by-step explanation:
To find f'(x), we will follow the steps below:
We will start by integrating both-side of the equation
∫f'(x) = ∫(12x^3 - 2x^2 - 17)dx
f(x) = 3x⁴ -
- 17x + C
Then we go ahead and find C
f(1) = 8
so we will replace x by 1 in the above equation and solve for c
f(1) = 3(1)⁴ -
- 17(1) + C
8 = 3 -
- 17 + C
C =8 - 3 + 17 + 
C = 22 + 
C =
C = 
f(x) = 3x⁴ -
- 17x +
