Mathematics

REY [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

b= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find out value of x

x-2 = 0

x= 2

Step 2: Substitute value of x in the equation

x^3 + bx^2-  4 = 0

(2)^3 + b (2)^2 - 4 = 0

8 + 4b - 4=0

4 - 4b = 0

4b = -4

b = -1

Determine the location and values of the absolute maximum and absolute minimum for given function : f(x)=(‐x+2)4,where 0<×&lt
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Where 0 < x < 3

The location of the local minimum, is (2, 0)

The location of the local maximum is at (0, 16)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = (x + 2)⁴

The range of the minimum = 0 < x < 3

At a local minimum/maximum values, we have;

f'(x) = \dfrac{(-x + 2)^4}{dx}  = -4 \cdot (-x + 2)^3 = 0

∴ (-x + 2)³ = 0

x = 2

f''(x) = \dfrac{ -4 \cdot (-x + 2)^3}{dx}  = -12 \cdot (-x + 2)^2

When x = 2, f''(2) = -12×(-2 + 2)² = 0 which gives a local minimum at x = 2

We have, f(2) = (-2 + 2)⁴ = 0

The location of the local minimum, is (2, 0)

Given that the minimum of the function is at x = 2, and the function is (-x + 2)⁴, the absolute local maximum will be at the maximum value of (-x + 2) for 0 < x < 3

When x = 0, -x + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2

Similarly, we have;

-x + 2 = 1, when x = 1

-x + 2 = 0, when x = 2

-x + 2 = -1, when x = 3

Therefore, the maximum value of -x + 2, is at x = 0 and the maximum value of the function where 0 < x < 3, is (0 + 2)⁴ = 16

The location of the local maximum is at (0, 16).

Oxana [17]

There are 80 children. 45 of them are girls. The amount of boys is equal to:

80-45 = 35

That means there are 45 girls and 35 boys.

The ratio of boys to girls is: 35:45

Simplify:

35 \div 5 = 7 \\ 45 \div 5 = 9 \\ \\35:45 \rightarrow 7:9

Your answer is 7:9
