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.

54 is 75% of what number?
Furkat [3]
<span>one way to solve this kind of problems is by doing a little bit of reversal 75 % * X = 54 75/100 * X = 54 (we move 75/100 to the right, since it's a fraction the top and bottom number will be reversed) X = 54 * 100/75 X = 5400 / 75 X = 72 Hope I helped! :) Cheers!</span>

????⃗ (x,y)=(3x−4y)????⃗ +2x????⃗ F→(x,y)=(3x−4y)i→+2xj→ and ????C is the counter-clockwise oriented sector of a circle centered
Karolina [17]

By Green's theorem, the integral of \vec F along C is

\displaystyle\int_C\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\iint_D\left(\frac{\partial(2x)}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial(3x-4y)}{\partial y}\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=6\iint_D\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy

which is 6 times the area of D, the region with C as its boundary.

We can compute the integral by converting to polar coordinates, or simply recalling the formula for a circular sector from geometry: Given a sector with central angle \theta and radius r, the area A of the sector is proportional to the circle's overall area according to

\dfrac A{\frac\pi3\,\rm rad}=\dfrac{16\pi}{2\pi\,\rm rad}\implies A=\dfrac{8\pi}3

so that the value of the integral is

\dfrac{6\times8\pi}3=\boxed{16\pi}
