Answer:

Please read the complete answer below!

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following function:

f(x)=x^3-3x^2-9x+4   (1)

a) To find the interval on which f is increasing or decreasing, you first calculate the critical points of f(x).

You calculate the derivative f(x) respect to x:

\frac{df}{dx}=3x^2-6x-9    (2)

Next, you equal the derivative to zero, and then you find the roots of the polynomial by using the quadratic formula:

3x^2-6x-9=0\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(3)(-9)}}{2(3)}\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{6\pm12}{6}\\\\x_1=-1\\\\x_2=3

Then, the critical points are x=-1 and x=3

Next, you calculate df/dx for a values of x to the left and to the right of the critical points x1 and x2. If df/dx < 0 the function is decreasing, if df/dx > 0 the function is increasing.

for x = -1.01

\frac{df(-1.01)}{dx}=3(-1.01)^2-6(-1.01)-9=0.12

Then, in the interval (-∞,-1), the function is increasing

for x = -0.99

\frac{df(-0.99)}{dx}=3(-0.99)^2-6(-0.99)-9=-0.11

In the interval (-1,3) the function is decreasing

for x = 3.01

\frac{df(3.01)}{dx}=3(3.01)^2-6(3.01)-9=0.12

In the interval (3,+∞) the function is increasing

b) To find the local minimum and maximum you use the second derivative of the function:

\frac{d^2f}{dx^2}=6x-6     (3)

you evaluate the second derivative for the critical points x1 and x2, if the second derivative is positive, you have a local minimum. If the second derivative is negative, you have a local maximum:

for x1 = -1

6(-1)-6=-12

x=-1 is a local maximum

for x2 = 3

6(3)-6=12>0

x=3 is a local minimum

c) upward concavity: (-1,3)

downward concavity: (-∞,-1)U(3,+∞)

The inflection points are calculated with the second derivative equal to zero:

6x-6=0\\\\x=1

For x = 1 you have an inflection point

What was the difference in the starting temperature and the ending temperature
igomit [66]

Answer:

You subtract the final temperature from the starting temperature to find the difference. So if something starts at 50 degrees Celsius and finishes at 75 degrees C, then the change in temperature is 75 degrees C – 50 degrees C = 25 degrees C. For decreases in temperature, the result is negative.

Step-by-step explanation: really not sure how to explain but in my understood   thats my answer

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the nth term of an AP is a+(n-1)d

a+(n-1)d=a+(n-1-1)d+7

a+nd-d=a+nd-2d+7

d=7

As the common difference is 7.

1. Carissa also has a sink that is shaped like a half-sphere. The sink has a volume of 2000/3 π inches. One day, her sink clogge
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Yes, your answers are correct.

The volume of a cone is given by V = 1/3πr²h.  Since the diameter of the first cone is 4, the radius is 2; therefore the volume is

V = 1/3π(2²)(8) = 32π/3

We divide the volume of the sink, 2000π/3, by the volume of the cone:

2000π/3 ÷ 32π/3 = 2000π/3 × 3/32π = 6000π/96π = 62.5 ≈ 63.

The diameter of the second conical cup is 8, so the radius is 4.  The volume then is:

V = 1/3π(4²)(8) = 128π/3

Dividing the volume of the sink, 2000π/3, by 128π/3:

2000π/3 ÷ 128π/3 = 2000π/3 × 3/128π = 6000π/384π = 15.625 ≈ 16
