Use the maximum-minimum feature of your graphing calculator to determine the location of the peaks and valleys of f (x )equals
0.2 x cubed plus 0.3 x squared minus 1.2 x plus 0.4. a. Find the x-coordinates, if any, at which f has a peak (a maximum). What are these maximum values? b. Find the x-coordinates, if any, at which f has a valley (a minimum). What are these minimum values?
1 answer:
Answer:
a) maximum of 2.4 at x=-2
b) minimum of -0.3 at x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
A cubic function that is not monotonic will have one maximum and one minimum. If the leading coefficient is positive (as here), the maximum will have an x-coordinate that is less than that of the minimum.
The graph shows the extrema you're looking for.

Answer:
OPTION C: 60%
Step-by-step explanation:
Chances of raining the next day + Chances that it will not rain = 100%
One of them should definitely be true.
So, if the chance of it raining tomorrow is 40% then there is 60% chance that it will not rain tomorrow.
This can also seen as follows:
Probability of rain tomorrow + Probability of no rain = 1
Given Probability of rain tomorrow = 40% =
Probability of no rain tomorrow = 1 - Probability of rain tomorrow
⇒ Probability of no rain = 1 -
⇒ Probability of no rain =
Expressing it as percentage: = 60%.
