Answer:

y = (x-3)^2 - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square, take the middle term bx and divide it in two. Then take the square.

x^2 - 6x - 8 has bx = -6x. Take -6/2 = -3. Square -3^2 = 9.

Now to finish completing the square add 9 and subtract 9 from one side.

y = x^2 - 6x - 8

y = (x^2 - 6x +9) -9 - 8

y = (x-3)^2 - 17

Consider the following. f(x) = x5 − x3 + 6, −1 ≤ x ≤ 1 (a) Use a graph to find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the fu

kykrilka [37]

ANSWER

See below

EXPLANATION

Part a)

The given function is

$f(x) = {x}^{5} - {x}^{3} + 6$

From the graph, we can observe that, the absolute maximum occurs at (-0.7746,6.1859) and the absolute minimum occurs at (0.7746,5.8141).

b) Using calculus, we find the first derivative of the given function.

$f'(x) = 5 {x}^{4} - 3 {x}^{2}$

At turning point f'(x)=0.

$5 {x}^{4} - 3 {x}^{2} = 0$

This implies that,

${x}^{2} (5 {x}^{2} - 3) = 0$

${x}^{2} = 0 \: or \: 5 {x}^{2} - 3 = 0$

$x = - \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5} \: or \: x = 0 \: \: or \: x =\frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5}$

We plug this values into the original function to obtain the y-values of the turning points

$( - \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5} , \frac{1}{125} ( 6 \sqrt{15} +750)) \:and \: (0, - 6) \: and\: ( \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5} , \frac{1}{125} ( - 6 \sqrt{15} +750))$

We now use the second derivative test to determine the absolute maximum minimum on the interval [-1,1]

$f''(x) = 20 {x}^{3} - 6x$

$f''( - \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5} ) \: < \: 0$

Hence

$( - \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5} , \frac{1}{125} ( 6 \sqrt{15} + 750))$

is a maximum point.

$f''( \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5} ) \: > \: 0$

Hence

$( \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5} , \frac{1}{125} (- 6 \sqrt{15} + 750))$

is a minimum point.

$f''(0) \: =\: 0$

Hence (0,-6) is a point of inflexion

Suppose the sample space for a probability experiment has 8 elements. If elements from the sample are selected without replaceme

Gwar [14]

Answer: Number of ways $=\dfrac{8!}{8!0!}\ or \ 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is no replacement , we use combination to find the number of ways to choose things.

Number of ways to choose r things out of ( with out replacement) = $^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

The number of ways to choose 8 things = $^8C_8=\dfrac{8!}{8!(8-8)!}=\dfrac{1}{0!}=1 [\because 0!=1]$

Hence, Number of ways $=\dfrac{8!}{8!0!}\ or \ 1$
