Answer:

only one number c=0 in the interval [-1,1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Function f(x) = |(x^2-9)(x^2 + 1)|   in the interval [-1,1]

To find : How many numbers in the interval [−1, 1] satisfy the conclusion of the mean value theorem.

Mean value theorem : If f is a continuous function on the closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on the open interval (a,b), then there exists a point 'c' in (a,b) such that f'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Solution : f(x) is a function that satisfies all of the following :

1) f(x)  is continuous on the closed interval [-1,1]  

\lim_{x\to a} f(x)=f(a)

2) f(x) is differentiable on the open interval  (-1,1)

Then there is a number  c such that  f'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

f(a)=f(-1) = |(-1^2-9)(-1^2 + 1)|=|(-8)(2)|=16

f(b)=f(1) = |(1^2-9)(1^2 + 1)|=|(8)(2)|=16

f'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=\frac{16-16}{2}=0

f'(c)=0 ........[1]

Now, we find f'(x)

f(x) = |(x^2-9)(x^2 + 1)|

f(x) =x^4-8x^2-9

Differentiating w.r.t  x

f'(x) =4x^3-16x

In place of x we put x=c

f'(c) =4c^3-16c

f'(c) =4c^3-16c=0  (by [1], f'(c)=0)

4c(c^2-4)=0

4c=0,c^2-4=0

either c=0 or  c^2-4=0\rightarrow c=\pm2

we cannot take c=\pm2  because they don't lie in the interval [-1,1]

Therefore, there is only one number c=0 which lie in interval [-1,1] and satisfying the conclusion of the mean value theorem.

Find the equation of a line with each of the following characteristics. a) parallel to the line y = 3x + 5 and has a y-intercept
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When you put all three equations from the question into a graph and then input the equation i just gave you it will be perpendicular to line B & C, also it will be parallel to line A. Finally you can check yourself that it also has a y-intercept of (0,-1) & an x-intercept of (2,0). Hopefully this helps out & gets brainliest. xD
