What is the sign of f on the interval -2

Mathematics
1 answer:
TEA [102]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

f is sometimes positive and sometimes negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=(x-3)(x+2)(x+4)(x+4)(x-1)(2x-9)

Take x=-1\in(-2,\frac{9}{2})\ as-2

f(-1)=(-1-3)(-1+2)(-1+4)(-1-1)(-2-9)\\\\=(-4)(1)(3)(-2)(-11)\\\\=-264\\\\f(-1)

Take x=2\in(-2,\frac{9}{2})\ as\ -2

f(2)=(2,-3)(2+2)(2+4)(2-1)(2\times2-9)\\\\=(-1)(4)(6)(1)(-5)\\\\=120\\\\f(2)>0

Hence f(x) for x=-1 and f(x)>0 for x=2

So f is sometimes positive and sometimes negative in the interval.

A manufacturer of running shoes knows that the average lifetime for a particular model of shoes is 15 months. Someone in the res
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

 The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that  the  designer's claim of a better shoe is supported by the trial results.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The population mean is  \mu = 15 \ months

   The sample size is  n =  25

   The sample mean is  \= x  = 17 \ months

   The standard deviation is  s = 5.5 \ months

Let assume the level of significance of this test is  \alpha  = 0.05

    The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \mu = 15

     The alternative hypothesis is  H_a : \mu  > 17

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as  

         df = n -1

=>       df = 25 -1

=>       df = 24

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

        t = \frac{\= x- \mu }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }

=>   t = \frac{ 17 - 15 }{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }

=>   t =  1.8182

Generally from the student t distribution table the probability of obtaining   t =  1.8182 to the right of the curve at a degree of freedom of df = 24  is  

    p-value  = P(t > 0.18182 ) = 0.4286

From the value obtained we see that  p-value > \alpha hence

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

 The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that  the  designer's claim of a better shoe is  supported by the trial results.

Which of these sentences is always true with a parallelogram?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Opposite angles are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallelogram has parallel opposite sides and also the opposite sides are congruent. Few other properties of parallelogram are -

  • It has two pairs of parallel opposite sides.
  • Its diagonals bisect each other.
  • It has two pairs of equal opposite angles.
  • It has two pairs of equal and parallel opposite sides.

So, the answer is D.) opposite angles are congruent.

vodomira [7]
Part A
A good scale for y to use would be 100, since it fits in all of the f(x)'s and the next value (243) is obviously not going to fit.
As for x, you can use 4 or 5. If you do 5, you're not going to get to it though, because f(x) will be 243.

Part B

When our input increases by 1, our output multiplies by 3.
Multiplying by 3 x times can be represented as 3^x.
We start at 1, so we'd want to have 1\times3^x. However, 1 times anything doesn't change its value, so we can leave it out because it is redundant.

As for making the graph, just label your y axis 0 to 100, and your x axis 0 to 5.
Then mark out (0, 1), (1, 3), (2, 9), (3, 27), and (4, 81).
Draw a curve that includes all of these. It should hit y=100 a little after x=4, since x=5 is all the way at y=243.

Matt is canoeing on Lake opeongo fighting a headwind. it takes him 2 hours to get to the lake 4km away. on the way back it takes
Mariana [72]

So Matt is canoeing on a Lake.

It took him 2 hours to get to the lake 4 kilometers away.

On the way back it takes him 90 minutes.

Now, lets say that he is canoeing at 'u' miles per hour and lets assume that the speed of the wind is 'v' miles per hour.

While he sails in opposite to the wind net speed is given by u-v.

Using the relation between distance, time, and speed we get:

u-v=\frac{4}{2} =2 kilometers per hour so we get,

u-v=2 ..............(equation 1)

Now when he sails along the wind, the net speed is given by u+v

Now, again use the same relation as stated above we get:

u+v=\frac{4}{1.5} =2.6 (here we have converted 90 minutes into hours \frac{90}{60} =1.5)

u+v=2.6 ..............(equation 2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 we get:

u=2.3 , putting the value of 'u' in equation 1 we get v=2.6-2.3=0.3.

So the speed at which Matt is canoeing is 'u' that is 2.3 kilometers per hour and the wind is flowing at 0.3 kilometers per hour.

So Matt can canoe at 2.3 kilometers per hour without wind. And wind is slowing him down by 0.3 kilometer per hour.
