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

Mathematics
1 answer:
yanalaym [24]3 years ago

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.

I need to find the area of my shape
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Formula for area of triangle:

A = bh x 1/2

Formula for area of parallelogram:

A = bh

Now find the area of the figure above which is a triangle:

3(base) x 8(height) x 1/2 = <em>12</em>

Let's find the area of the parallelogram;

6(height) x 9(base) = <em>54</em>

Add the two areas together:

12 + 54 = 66 cm2

Describe the nature of the roots for the equation<br> 49x2– 28x +4 = 0
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The roots of the equation is real and repeated

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to describe the nature of the roots of the given quadratic equation

To get the nature of the roots, we find the discriminant of the equation

The discriminant is;

b^2 - 4ac

In this case, b = -28 , a = 49 and c = 4

The discriminant is thus;

-28^2 - 4(49)(4)

= 784 - 784 = 0

Since the discriminant is zero, this means that the quadratic equation has real roots which are the same

The bisector of the angle at A (call it AQ) divides the segment BC into segments BQ:QC having the ratio AB:AC. Use this fact to find x.

.. 9:15 = (2x -1):3x
.. 15(2x -1) = 9*3x . . . . . the product of the means equals the product of extremes
.. 30x -15 = 27x
.. 3x = 15
.. x = 5

___
According to the value of x, the bisector AQ divides the triangle into two isosceles triangles: ABQ, ACQ.
