Prove that the function f(x) = x 3 + x 2 + 6x + 1 has one and only one real root.

1 answer:

6 0

F(0)=1. When x>0 f(x)>0 because there are no negative coefficients.
f(-1)=-5, so there is a sign change between x=-1 and 0, implying there is one root between these limits.
When x<-1, x³+x²<0 and 6x<0 and so f(x)<0. Therefore there is only one real root.

Select the correct answer. Which function is the inverse of ?

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

B. $f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + 3}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$let \space\ y = f(x)\\\\y = 9x -3\\$

• Now make x the subject of the equation:

$9x = y + 3\\\\x = \frac{y + 3}{9} \\$

• Replace x with f⁻¹(x) and y with x:

$f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + 3}{9}$

Estimate a 10% tip on a bill of $179.54 by first rounding the bill amount to the nearest ten dollars.

lawyer [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we start off by rounding that number to the nearest ten, not tenTH. This rounding would lead to 180$. Now comes the percent part. Here i use the percent equation, which is ____ is ____% of _____. our percent is 10%, and our whole goes at the end, 180$. The part( or the tax), becomes x, and now we translate. Is means = and of means times. so x=.10(180), and x will equal 18

so the tip will be around 18 dollars
