5 A pile driver drives a post 9 ft into the ground on its first hit. Each additional hit

Which is the hypothesis of this statement?

zubka84 [21]

I agree with you.
The hypothesis is the part where the word <em>if </em>can be found. So, the hypothesis here has to be C. a and b are negative.

PLEASEEEE ANSWER ASAP

Alona [7]

Answer:

x = -1, x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the equation. (It's a difference of squares, so we know the form will be (a-b)(a+b).)

$y = x^{2} - 1\\y = (x-1)(x+1)$

Test this by FOILing it out, if you're unsure. This is something it can be good to memorize!

Set it equal to 0.

$0 = (x+1)(x-1)$

Separate the two parenthetical expressions by the Zero Product Property.

$0 = x+1\\0 = x-1$

Solve for x!

$x=-1, x=1$

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 $(-\infty, 2)$ .
