When calculating the determinant of a matrix, the answer is a single number rather than a matrix.

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

Yes, one of the properties of determinants is that they are real numbers (including zero) not matrix. This if the entries of the matrix are real. Determinants can be both positive or negative numbers.

Round 963 to 1 significant figure.

dedylja [7]

963 would be rounded to become 1000.
This is because 9 is the first non-zero number and so since there are only going to be 1 significant figures, the 9 would round up or down. There is a 6 after the 9, so it rounds up to 10, making it 1000.

What is the maximum number of relative extrema contained in the graph of this function f(x)=3x^3-x^2+4x-2

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The maximum number of turning points in a cubic function is 2.

In this case,

$f(x)=3x^3-x^2+4x-2\implies f'(x)=9x^2-2x+4$

The discriminant is $(-2)^2-4(9)(4)=-140$ , which means the derivative has no real roots. This means there are no critical points and thus no turning points/relative extrema.
