Which expression is equivalent to-18a^-2b^5/ -12a^-4 B^-6

ahrayia [7]

Ok so find 1's

remember that 4/4=1 also x/x=1 those are ones
also remember
if you had
10/30 that equals 10/10 times 1/3=1 times 1/3

so find ones

4/10=2/2 times 2/5=1 times 2/5=2/5

Given the function f(x) = x^4 + 3x^3 - 2x^2 - 6x - 1, use intermediate theorem to decide which of the following intervals contai

marta [7]

$f(x) = x^4 + 3x^3 - 2x^2 - 6x - 1$

Lets check with every option

(a) [-4,-3]

We plug in -4 for x and -3 for x

$f(-4) = (-4)^4 + 3(-4)^3 - 2(-4)^2 - 6(-4) - 1= 55$

$f(-3) = (-3)^4 + 3(-3)^3 - 2(-3)^2 - 6(-3) - 1= -1$

f(-4) is positive and f(-3) is negative. there is some value at x=c on the interval [-4,-3] where f(c)=0. so there exists atleast one zero on this interval.

(b) [-3,-2]

We plug in -3 for x and -2 for x

$f(-3) = (-3)^4 + 3(-3)^3 - 2(-3)^2 - 6(-3) - 1= -1$

$f(-2) = (-2)^4 + 3(-2)^3 - 2(-2)^2 - 6(-2) - 1= -5$

f(-2) is negative and f(-3) is negative. there is no value at x=c on the interval [-3,-2] where f(c)=0.

(c) [-2,-1]

We plug in -2 for x and -1 for x

$f(-2) = (-2)^4 + 3(-2)^3 - 2(-2)^2 - 6(-2) - 1= -5$

$f(-1) = (-1)^4 + 3(-1)^3 - 2(-1)^2 - 6(-1) - 1= 1$

f(-2) is negative and f(-1) is positive. there is some value at x=c on the interval [-2,-1] where f(c)=0. so there exists atleast one zero on this interval.

(d) [-1,0]

We plug in -1 for x and 0 for x

$f(-1) = (-1)^4 + 3(-1)^3 - 2(-1)^2 - 6(-1) - 1= 1$

$f(0) = (0)^4 + 3(0)^3 - 2(0)^2 - 6(0) - 1= -1$

f(-1) is positive and f(0) is negative. there is some value at x=c on the interval [-1,0] where f(c)=0. so there exists atleast one zero on this interval.

(e) [0,1]

We plug in 0 for x and 1 for x

$f(0) = (0)^4 + 3(0)^3 - 2(0)^2 - 6(0) - 1= -1$

$f(1) = (1)^4 + 3(1)^3 - 2(1)^2 - 6(1) - 1= -5$

f(0) is negative and f(1) is negative. there is no value at x=c on the interval [0,1] where f(c)=0.

(f) [1,2]

We plug in 1 for x and 2 for x

$f(1) = (1)^4 + 3(1)^3 - 2(1)^2 - 6(1) - 1= -5$

$f(2) = (2)^4 + 3(2)^3 - 2(2)^2 - 6(2) - 1= 19$

f(-4) is positive and f(-3) is negative. there is some value at x=c on the interval [-4,-3] where f(c)=0. so there exists atleast one zero on this interval.

so answers are (a) [-4,-3], (c) [-2,-1], (d) [-1,0], (f) [1,2]
