f'(x)\ge0 for all x in [-3, 0], so f(x) is non-decreasing over this interval, and in particular we know right away that its minimum value must occur at x=-3.

From the plot, it's clear that on [-3, 0] we have f'(x)=-x. So

f(x)=\displaystyle\int(-x)\,\mathrm dx=-\dfrac{x^2}2+C

for some constant C. Given that f(0)=7, we find that

7=-\dfrac{0^2}2+C\implies C=7

so that on [-3, 0] we have

f(x)=-\dfrac{x^2}2+7

and

f(-3)=\dfrac52=2.5

Solve the following rational equation plz help!!
Yuri [45]

Answer:

x = \frac{9}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{4x}{x+1} - \frac{5}{x} = \frac{4}{x^2+x} ← factor denominator

\frac{4x}{x+1} - \frac{5}{x} = \frac{4}{x(x+1)}

[ x ≠ 0, x ≠ - 1 as these would make the terms undefined ]

Multiply through by x(x + 1)

4x² - 5(x + 1) = 4

4x² - 5x - 4 = 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

4x² - 5x - 9 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 1)(4x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

4x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 4x = 9 ⇒ x = \frac{9}{4}

However, x ≠ - 1 for reason given above, then

solution is x = \frac{9}{4}
