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.

Use Synthetic substitution to find f(3) and f(-4) for f(x)=x^4-8x-11

brilliants [131]

Answer:

46 and 277

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = $x^{4}$ - 8x - 11 ← substitute x = 3, x = - 4 into f(x)

f(3) = $3^{4}$ - 8(3) - 11 = 81 - 24 - 11 = 81 - 35 = 46

f(- 4) = $(-4)^{4}$ - 8(- 4) - 11 = 256 + 32 - 11 = 288 - 11 = 277

Simplify the expression below and write it as a single logarithm:

OLEGan [10]

The simplification of 3log(x + 4) – 2log(x – 7) + 5log(x - 2) - log(x^2) is $\log \left(\frac{(x+4)^{3} \times(x-2)^{5}}{(x-7)^{2} \times x^{2}}\right)$

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, expression is $3 \log (x+4)-2 \log (x-7)+5 \log (x-2)-\log \left(x^{2}\right)$

We have to write in as single logarithm by simplifying it.

Now, take the given expression.

$\rightarrow 3 \log (x+4)-2 \log (x-7)+5 \log (x-2)-\log \left(x^{2}\right)$

Rearranging the terms we get,

$\left.\rightarrow 3 \log (x+4)+5 \log (x-2)-2 \log (x-7)+\log \left(x^{2}\right)\right)$

$\text { since a } \times \log b=\log \left(b^{a}\right)$

$\rightarrow \log (x+4)^{3}+\log (x-2)^{5}-\left(\log (x-7)^{2}+\log \left(x^{2}\right)\right)$

$\text { We know that } \log a \times \log b=\log a b$

$\rightarrow \log \left((x+4)^{3} \times(x-2)^{5}\right)-\left(\log \left((x-7)^{2} \times\left(x^{2}\right)\right)\right.$

$\text { We know that } \log a-\log b=\log \frac{a}{b}$

$\rightarrow \log \left(\frac{(x+4)^{3} \times(x-2)^{5}}{(x-7)^{2} \times x^{2}}\right)$

Hence, the simplified form $\rightarrow \log \left(\frac{(x+4)^{3} \times(x-2)^{5}}{(x-7)^{2} \times x^{2}}\right)$
