For the answer to the question above, 
The mean value theorem states the if f is a continuous function on an interval [a,b], then there is a c in [a,b] such that: 
<span>f ' (c) = [f(b) - f(a)] / (b - a) </span>
<span>
So [f(a) - f(b)] ( b - a ) = [sin(3pi/4) - sin(pi/4)]/pi </span>
= [sqrt(2)/2 - sqrt(2)/2]/pi = 0 
So for some c in [pi/2, 3pi/2] we must have f ' (c) = 0 

In general f ' (x) = (1/2) cos (x/2) 
We ask ourselves for what values x in [pi/2, 3pi/2] does the above equation equal 0. 
0 = (1/2) cos (x/2) 
0 = cos (x/2) 
x/2 = ..., -5pi/2, -3pi/2, -pi/2, pi/2, 3pi/2, 5pi/2,... 
x = ..., -5pi, -3pi, -pi, pi. 3pi, 5pi, .... 
and x = pi is the only solution in our interval. 

So c = pi is a solution that satisfies the conclusion of the MVT

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description.
Paha777 [63]

The <em>quadratic</em> equation 3 · x² + 7 · x - 2 = 0 has a <em>positive</em> discriminant. Thus, the expression has two <em>distinct real</em> roots (<em>real</em> and <em>irrational</em> roots).

<h3>How to determine the characteristics of the roots of a quadratic equation by discriminant</h3>

Herein we have a <em>quadratic</em> equation of the form a · x² + b · x + c = 0, whose discriminant is:

d = b² - 4 · a · c     (1)

There are three possibilities:

  1. d < 0 - <em>conjugated complex</em> roots.
  2. d = 0 - <em>equal real</em> roots (real and rational root).
  3. d > 0 - <em>different real</em> roots (real and irrational root).

If we know that a = 3, b = 7 and c = - 2, then the discriminant is:

d = 7² - 4 · (3) · (- 2)

d = 49 + 24

d = 73

The <em>quadratic</em> equation 3 · x² + 7 · x - 2 = 0 has a <em>positive</em> discriminant. Thus, the expression has two <em>distinct real</em> roots (<em>real</em> and <em>irrational</em> roots).

Help I would love the help.
MAXImum [283]

Your answer would be D. It is one-half the area of a rectangle with sides 4 units x 3 units. This is how you solve these problems. You have to draw a rectangle around the triangle Think about it, It wouldnt be double the surrounding rectangle and the dimentions are 3 x 4, not 4 x 4.

Hope I was most help to you!
