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.

What is the solution to the system of equations? 3x + 10y = -47 5x- 7y = 40<br>Please and thank u
anastassius [24]

Answer:

x=1, y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

3x+10y=-47\ Eqn\ 1\\and\\5x-7y=40\ Eqn\ 2

In order to solve the equation

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5 and eqn 2 by 3 and subtracting them

So,

Eqn 1 becomes

15x+50y=-235

Eqn 2 becomes

15x-21y=120

Subtracting 2 from a

15x+50y - (15x-21y) = -235-120

15x+50y-15x + 21y = -355

71y = -355

y = -355/71

y =-5

Putting y= -5 in eqn 1

3x+10(-5) = -47

3x -50 = -47

3x = -47+50

3x = 3

x = 3/3

x = 1

Hence the solution is:

x=1, y=-5
