Determine the value for c on {2, 5} that satisfies the Mean Value Theorem for f(x) = x^2 - 3 / x -1

Answer:

B. 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

OK lets try again.

The slope of the secant = slope of the tangent at a certain point ( The Mean Value Theorem).

Slope of the secant = f(5) - f(2) / (5 - 2)

= [(25-3) / (5-1)  - (4-3) / (2-1)] / 3

=  (22/4 - 1) / 3

= 9/2 / 3

= 9/6

= 3/2.

The derivative at c = the slope of the tangent at c.

Finding the derivative:

f'(x) =  [2x(x - 1) - (x^2 - 3) ]/ (x - 1)^2    (where x = c).

= (x^2 - 2x + 3)/ (x - 1)^2 = the slope.

So equating the slopes:

(x^2 - 2x + 3) / (x - 1)^2 = 3/2

2x^2 - 4x + 6 = 3x^2 - 6x + 3

x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0

(x - 3)(x + 1) = 90

x = 3 , -1

x can't be -1 because we are working between the values 2 and 5 so

x = c = 3.

Solving Proportions 19/4 = x/4
fredd [130]

Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve proportions, you first need to cross multiply. \frac{19}{4}= \frac{x}{4}, you would need to multiply each top number by 4. 76 = 4x, which then could easily be simplified down to 19 by just dividing by four.

X + y = 24
Masja [62]

Answer:

(10, 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system let's use substitution:

Solve the first equation for x, obtaining x = 24 - y, and then substitute 24 - y for x in the second equation:

3(24 - y) + 5y = 100

Performing the indicated multiplication, we get:

72 - 3y + 5y = 100

Combining like terms results in 72 - 100 = -2y, or -28 = -2y

Thus, y must be 14.

If y = 14, then the first equation tells us that x = 10.

Check:  Is this true?  3(10) + 5(14) = 100  YES

The solution is (10, 14).

What was it about the questions on the best that you were supposed to compare to this solution?
