Answer:

a) There's a zero between [1,2]

b) There's a zero between [1.5,2]

c) There's a zero between  [1.5,1.75].

Step-by-step explanation:

We have f(x)=3^x-x^4

A)We need to show that f(x) has a zero in the interval [1, 2]. We have to see if the function f is continuous with f(1) and f(2).

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1)=3^1-(1)^4=3-1=2\\\\f(2)=3^2-(2)^4=9-16=(-7)

We can see that f(1) and f(2) have opposite signs. And f(1)>f(2) and the function is continuous, this means that exists a real number c between the interval [1,2] where f(c)=0.

B)We have to repeat the same steps of A)

For the subinterval [1,1.5]:

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1)=3^1-(1)^4=3-1=2\\\\f(1.5)=3^1^.^5-(1.5)^4=5.19-5.06=0.13

f(1) and f(1.5) have the same signs, this means there's no zero in the subinterval [1,1.5].

For the subinterval [1.5,2]:

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1.5)=3^1^.^5-(1.5)^4=5.19-5.06=0.13\\\\f(2)=3^2-(2)^4=9-16=(-7)

f(1.5) and f(2) have opposite signs, this means there's a zero between the subinterval [1.5,2].

C)We have to repeat the same steps of A)

For the subinterval [1,1.25]:

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1)=3^1-(1)^4=3-1=2\\\\f(1.25)=3^1^.^2^5-(1.25)^4=3.94-2.44=1.5

f(1) and f(1.25) have the same signs, this means there's no zero in the subinterval [1,1.25].

For the subinterval [1.25,1.5]:

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1.25)=3^1^.^2^5-(1.25)^4=3.94-2.44=1.5\\\\f(1.5)=3^1^.^5-(1.5)^4=5.19-5.06=0.13

f(1.25) and f(1.5) have the same signs, this means there's no zero in the subinterval [1.25,1.5].

For the subinterval [1.5,1.75]:

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1.5)=3^1^.^5-(1.5)^4=5.19-5.06=0.13\\\\f(1.75)=3^1^.^7^5-(1.75)^4=6.83-9.37=(-2.54)

f(1.5) and f(1.75) have opposite signs, this means there's a zero between the subinterval [1.5,1.75].

For the subinterval [1.75,2]:

f(x)=3^x-x^4\\\\f(1.75)=3^1^.^7^5-(1.75)^4=6.83-9.37=(-2.54)\\\\f(2)=3^2-(2)^4=9-16=(-7)

f(1.75) and f(2) have the same signs, this means there isn't a zero between the subinterval [1.75,2].

The graph of the function shows that the answers are correct.

Determine the intercepts of the line
dusya [7]

Answer:

y-intercept: (0, -0.7)

x-intercept: (-1.2, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • To find the x-intercept (x, 0) of a line substitute y by zero in the equation of the line, and from the graph, it is the point of intersection between the line and the x-axis
  • To find the y-intercept (0, y) of a line substitute x by zero in the equation of the line, and from the graph, it is the point of intersection between the line and the y-axis

In the given figure

∵ The line intersects the y-axis at the point (0, -0.7)

∴ The point of intersection between the line and the y-axis is (0, -0.7)

→ By using the 2nd note above

∴ The y-intercept is (0, -0.7)

∵ The line intersects the x-axis at the point (-1.2, 0)

∴ The point of intersection between the line and the x-axis is (-1.2, 0)

→ By using the 1st note above

∴ The x-intercept is (-1.2, 0)

Haynes High School chartered buses for 60 students to go on a field trip. Valley High School chartered buses for 80 students.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the cost of a ticket at Haynes

Let 'y' be the cost of a ticket at Valley

Since the total cost from both schools are the same, we can write it as:

60x=80y

Since the cost of tickets at Valley was $5 less than Haynes, we can write it as:

y=x-5

Now we have two equations, we can use to substitute into the other expression:

60x=80y

60x=80(x-5) we substitute y in this equation with the other equation

60x=80x-400

-20x =-400

x = 20

Therefore the cost of the ticket at Haynes is $20 and the cost of the ticket at Valley is $15.
