Answer:

The local maximum and minimum values are:

Local maximum

g(0) = 0

Local minima

g(5.118) = -350.90

g(-1.368) = -9.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be g(x) = x^{4}-5\cdot x^{3}-14\cdot x^{2}. The determination of maxima and minima is done by using the First and Second Derivatives of the Function (First and Second Derivative Tests). First, the function can be rewritten algebraically as follows:

g(x) = x^{2}\cdot (x^{2}-5\cdot x -14)

Then, first and second derivatives of the function are, respectively:

First derivative

g'(x) = 2\cdot x \cdot (x^{2}-5\cdot x -14) + x^{2}\cdot (2\cdot x -5)

g'(x) = 2\cdot x^{3}-10\cdot x^{2}-28\cdot x +2\cdot x^{3}-5\cdot x^{2}

g'(x) = 4\cdot x^{3}-15\cdot x^{2}-28\cdot x

g'(x) = x\cdot (4\cdot x^{2}-15\cdot x -28)

Second derivative

g''(x) = 12\cdot x^{2}-30\cdot x -28

Now, let equalize the first derivative to solve and solve the resulting equation:

x\cdot (4\cdot x^{2}-15\cdot x -28) = 0

The second-order polynomial is now transform into a product of binomials with the help of factorization methods or by General Quadratic Formula. That is:

x\cdot (x-5.118)\cdot (x+1.368) = 0

The critical points are 0, 5.118 and -1.368.

Each critical point is evaluated at the second derivative expression:

x = 0

g''(0) = 12\cdot (0)^{2}-30\cdot (0) -28

g''(0) = -28

This value leads to a local maximum.

x = 5.118

g''(5.118) = 12\cdot (5.118)^{2}-30\cdot (5.118) -28

g''(5.118) = 132.787

This value leads to a local minimum.

x = -1.368

g''(-1.368) = 12\cdot (-1.368)^{2}-30\cdot (-1.368) -28

g''(-1.368) = 35.497

This value leads to a local minimum.

Therefore, the local maximum and minimum values are:

Local maximum

g(0) = (0)^{4}-5\cdot (0)^{3}-14\cdot (0)^{2}

g(0) = 0

Local minima

g(5.118) = (5.118)^{4}-5\cdot (5.118)^{3}-14\cdot (5.118)^{2}

g(5.118) = -350.90

g(-1.368) = (-1.368)^{4}-5\cdot (-1.368)^{3}-14\cdot (-1.368)^{2}

g(-1.368) = -9.90

Hi i have this class work of my cousing
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

5 < 8

-4 < 0

0 < 4

-5 < 5

-9 > -19

-5 > -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, the "Alligator" or better known as the "Packman" symbol (  >  <  )

It will always want to "eat" the bigger number. so, 8 is bigger than five, so the "Packman" will want to go after the bigger number. 5 < 8

A washer and a dryer cost $585 combined. The washer costs $65 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
I believe the dryer costs $357.50
there's an easy way to solve this
you just divide the given price($585)
by 2 and then to one half add $65
and the answer is 65+292.5=357.5
