Answer:

-1.58 and 1.58

Step-by-step explanation:

We can determine the local minimum value using the derivative test. We can take the derivative of the function g(x):

g'(x)= (d/dx)g(x)

g'(x)

=4\cdot(x^3)-10\cdot(x)

We find the x values at which the function is zero:

2\cdot(x)\cdot(2\cdot(x^2)-5)=0

Therefore x=0, x=±√5/2

To find the minimum value we substitue our values x=0 or x=-√5/2 or x=√5/2 into g(x)

g(0)=4

g(-√5/2)=-9

g(√5/2)=-9

Therefore the local minimum is -1.58 and 1.58.

The local minimum of function is an argument x for which the first derivative of function g(x) is equal to zero, so:
g'(x)=0
g'(x)=(x^4-5x^2+4)'=4x^3-10x=0
x(4x^2-10)=0
x=0 or 4x^2-10=0
4x^2-10=0 /4
x^2-10/4=0
x^2-5/2=0
[x-sqrt(5/2)][x+sqrt(5/2)]=0

Now we have to check wchich argument gives the minimum value from x=0, x=sqrt(5/2) and x=-sqrt(5/2).
g(0)=4
g(sqrt(5/2))=25/4-5*5/2+4=4-25/4=-9/4
g(-sqrt(5/2))=-9/4
The answer is sqrt(5/2) and -sqrt(5/2).

What does k equal if <br>485= 1/((k)(5.99x10^-3))
Verizon [17]
k\ne 0

485=\frac{1}{(k)(5.99*10^{-3})}\\\\ \frac{485}{1}= \frac{1}{0.00599k}\\\\ 485*0.00599k=1\\\\ k=\frac{1}{485*0.00599}\\\\k\approx 0.3442

Factor 10y^2 -23y +12
Nastasia [14]
10y^2 - 23y + 12 = 10y^2 - 15y - 8y + 12 = 5y(2y - 3) - 4(2y - 3) = (5y - 4)(2y - 3)

How can you tell if a relationship is proportiond?
VashaNatasha [74]
A relationship is proportional if they represent the same kind of relationship.

One way to tell if it is proportioned is to write them as fractions and then reduce them. If the reduced fractions are the same, the relationship is proportional.
