Answer:

1/-8

To find:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x+13=9

take 13 to the LHS. when you take 13 to the LHS it becomes negative

1/2x=9-13

1/2x=-4

by cross multiplying,

2x × -4=1

-8x=1

x=1/-8

hope it helps you!!

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

You are wanting to solve for x

First you want to subtract 13 on both sides-

1/2x = -4

Now you want to divide on both sides-

x = -8

Answer:

B' (-4, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you dilate from the origin, you multiply the coordinate points by the scale factor.

B (-1, -1) × 4 = B' (-4, -4)

I hope this helps :))

Let f(x)=5x3−60x+5 input the interval(s) on which f is increasing. (-inf,-2)u(2,inf) input the interval(s) on which f is decreas

o-na [289]

Answers:

(a) f is increasing at $(-\infty,-2) \cup (2,\infty)$ .

(b) f is decreasing at $(-2,2)$ .

(c) f is concave up at $(2, \infty)$

(d) f is concave down at $(-\infty, 2)$

Explanations:

(a) f is increasing when the derivative is positive. So, we find values of x such that the derivative is positive. Note that

$f'(x) = 15x^2 - 60
$

So,

$
f'(x) \ \textgreater \ 0
\\
\\ \Leftrightarrow 15x^2 - 60 \ \textgreater \ 0
\\
\\ \Leftrightarrow 15(x - 2)(x + 2) \ \textgreater \ 0
\\
\\ \Leftrightarrow \boxed{(x - 2)(x + 2) \ \textgreater \ 0} \text{ (1)}$

The zeroes of (x - 2)(x + 2) are 2 and -2. So we can obtain sign of (x - 2)(x + 2) by considering the following possible values of x:

-->> x < -2
-->> -2 < x < 2
--->> x > 2

If x < -2, then (x - 2) and (x + 2) are both negative. Thus, (x - 2)(x + 2) > 0.

If -2 < x < 2, then x + 2 is positive but x - 2 is negative. So, (x - 2)(x + 2) < 0.
If x > 2, then (x - 2) and (x + 2) are both positive. Thus, (x - 2)(x + 2) > 0.

So, (x - 2)(x + 2) is positive when x < -2 or x > 2. Since

$f'(x) \ \textgreater \ 0 \Leftrightarrow (x - 2)(x + 2) \ \textgreater \ 0$

Thus, f'(x) > 0 only when x < -2 or x > 2. Hence f is increasing at $(-\infty,-2) \cup (2,\infty)$ .

(b) f is decreasing only when the derivative of f is negative. Since

$f'(x) = 15x^2 - 60$

Using the similar computation in (a),

$f'(x) \ \textless \ \ 0 \\ \\ \Leftrightarrow 15x^2 - 60 \ \textless \ 0 \\ \\ \Leftrightarrow 15(x - 2)(x + 2) \ \ \textless \ 0 \\ \\ \Leftrightarrow \boxed{(x - 2)(x + 2) \ \textless \ 0} \text{ (2)}$

Based on the computation in (a), (x - 2)(x + 2) < 0 only when -2 < x < 2.

Thus, f'(x) < 0 if and only if -2 < x < 2. Hence f is decreasing at (-2, 2)

(c) f is concave up if and only if the second derivative of f is positive. Note that

$f''(x) = 30x - 60$

Since,

$f''(x) \ \textgreater \ 0
\\
\\ \Leftrightarrow 30x - 60 \ \textgreater \ 0
\\
\\ \Leftrightarrow 30(x - 2) \ \textgreater \ 0
\\
\\ \Leftrightarrow x - 2 \ \textgreater \ 0
\\
\\ \Leftrightarrow \boxed{x \ \textgreater \ 2}$

Therefore, f is concave up at $(2, \infty)$ .

(d) Note that f is concave down if and only if the second derivative of f is negative. Since,

$f''(x) = 30x - 60$

Using the similar computation in (c),

$f''(x) \ \textless \ 0 
\\ \\ \Leftrightarrow 30x - 60 \ \textless \ 0 
\\ \\ \Leftrightarrow 30(x - 2) \ \textless \ 0 
\\ \\ \Leftrightarrow x - 2 \ \textless \ 0 
\\ \\ \Leftrightarrow \boxed{x \ \textless \ 2}$

Therefore, f is concave down at $(-\infty, 2)$ .
