Answer:

(-∞,-3) and (3,∞)  

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3

1. Find the critical points

(a) Calculate the first derivative of the function.

f'(x) = 3x² -27  

(b) Factor the first derivative

f'(x)= 3(x² - 9) = 3(x + 3) (x - 3)

(c) Find the zeros

3(x + 3) (x - 3) = 0

x + 3 = 0      x - 3 = 0

     x = -3          x = 3

The critical points are at <em>x = -3</em> and x = 3.

2. Find the local extrema

(a) x = -3

f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3 = (-3)³ - 27(-3) + 3 = -27 +81 + 3 = 57

(b) x = 3

f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3 = 3³ - 27(3) + 3 = 27 - 81 + 3 = -51

The local extrema are at (-3,57) and (3,-51).

3, Identify the local extrema as maxima or minima

Test the first derivative (the slope) over the intervals (-∞, -3), (-3,3), (3,∞)

f'(-4) = 3x² -27 = 3(4)² - 27  = 21

f'(0) = 3(0)² -27 = -27

f'(4) = 3(4)² - 27 = 51

The function is increasing on the intervals (-∞,-3) and (3,∞).

The graph below shows the critical points of your function.

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to the radical expression?
qwelly [4]
The correct answer is B) m^{2/3}n^{5/3}. 

The denominator of the exponent is the root we are taking.  The numerator is the exponent of the radicand.  This means 3 will be the denominator, since it is a cubed root, and 2 will be the numerator of m while 5 will be the numerator of n.

a baseball dropped from the roof of a tall building takes 3.1 seconds to hit the ground. how tall is the building?
cluponka [151]
Initial velocity = 0 m/s
Acceleration = 9.8 m/s²
Time = 3.1 s

s = ut + 1/2 at²
s = 1/2 x 9.8 x 3.1²
s = 47.1 m

The building is 47.1 meters tall

Can someone please turn this into a equation and then solve it plz it’s due tommorow
jeka57 [31]
If the perimeter is 28 units, then you know you will have to add the same four numbers to get the perimeter. What times 4 can get you to 28? 7. 7 x 4=28. So what plus 3 gets us to 7? 4. The answer is 4, or x=4.
