So I'm assuming that you're taking Calculus.
The first thing you want to do is take the integral of f(x)...
Use the power rule to get:
4X^2-13X+3.
Now solve for X when f(x)=0. This is because when the slope is 0, it is either a minimum or a maximum(I'm assuming you know this)
Now you get X=0.25 and X=3. Since we are working in the interval of (1,4), we can ignore 0.25
Thus our potential X values for max and min are X=1,X=4,X=3(You don't want to forget the ends of the bounds!)
Plugging these value in for f(x), we get
f(1)=2.833
f(3)=-8.5
f(4)=1.667
Thus X=1 is the max and X=3 is the min.
So max:(1,2.833)
min:(3,-8.5)
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Odd number: 13/25 (52%)
Multiples of 5: 5/25 (20%)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 13 odd numbers between 1 and 25 so you have a 13/25 chance which is 52% (13/25 = 0.52). There are 5 multiples of 2 between 1 and 25 so you have a 5/25 chance which is 20% (5/25 = 0.2).
Answer:
• x = -4, x = 0, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
x is a factor of all terms, so x=0 is a zero. (Eliminates choices 1 and 5.)
The sum of coefficients is 0, so x=1 is a zero. (Eliminates choices 3 and 4.)
Reversing the sign of the odd-degree terms gives signs of -++, so there is one sign change, hence one negative real root (by Descartes' rule of signs). This confirms choice 2 as the answer.

Of course, your graphing calculator can answer this almost as quickly.
