Answer:

Option C) Rolle's theorem applies

c = \displaystyle\frac{-4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2)^2

Closed interval: [-3,2]

Rolle's Theorem:

According to this theorem if the given function

  1. continuous in [a,b]
  2. differentiable in (a,b)
  3. f(a) = f(b)

the, there exist c in (a,b) such that

f'(c) = 0

Continuity of function:

Since the given function is a continuous function, it is continuous everywhere. Therefore, f(x) is continuous in [-3,2]

Differentiability of function:

A polynomial function is differentiable For all arguments. Therefore, f(x) is differentiable in (-3,2)

Now, we evaluate f(-3) and f(2)

f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2)^2\\f(-3) = (-3+3)(-3-2)^2 = 0\\f(2) - (2+3)(2-2)^2 = 0\\\Rightarrow f(-3) = f(2) = 0

Thus, Rolle's theorem applies on the given function f(x).

According to Rolle's theorem there exist c in (a,b) such that f'(c) = 0

f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 2)^2\\f'(x) = (x-2)^2 + 2(x+3)(x-2) = 3x^2-2x-8\\f'(c) = 0\\f'(c) = 3c^2-2c-8 = 0\\\Rightarrow (c-2)(3c+4) = 0\\\Rightarrow c = 2, c = \displaystyle\frac{-4}{3}

c should lie in (-3,2)

Thus,

c = \displaystyle\frac{-4}{3}

If $500 is shared in the ratio 2:3:9 then the difference between the largest and the smallest shares is
madreJ [45]

Answer:

$250

Step-by-step explanation:

Total parts:

2+3+9 = 14

500/14 = 250/7

2×250/7 : 3×250/7 : 9×250/7

500/7 : 750/7 : 2250/7

The largest share is 2250/7, the smallest share is 500/7.

Find the difference.

2250/7 - 500/7 = 250

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

If I understand the question right, G(t) = -((t-1)^2) + 5 and we want to solve for the average rate of change over the interval −4 ≤ t ≤ 5.

A function for the rate of change of G(t) is given by G'(t).

G'(t) = d/dt(-((t-1)^2) + 5). We solve this by using the chain rule.

d/dt(-((t-1)^2) + 5) = d/dt(-((t-1)^2)) + d/dt(5) = -2(t-1)*d/dt(t-`1) + 0 = (-2t + 2)*1 = -2t + 2

G'(t) = -2t + 2

This is a linear equation, and the average value of a linear equation f(x) over a range can be found by (f(min) + f(max))/2.

So the average value of G'(t) over −4 ≤ t ≤ 5 is given by ((-2(-4) + 2) + (-2(5) + 2))/2 = ((8 + 2) + (-10 + 2))/2 = (10 - 8)/2 = 2/2 = 1
