Answer:

a) Critical points

x = 4 and x = -5

b) x = 4 corresponds to a minimum point for the function f(x)

x = - 5 corresponds to a maximum point for the function f(x)

c) The minimum value of f(x) in the interval = -298

The maximum value of f(x) in the interval = 431;

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x³ + 3x² - 120x + 6 in the interval [-5, 8]

a) To obtain the critical points, we need to obtain the first derivative of the function with respect to x. Because at critical points of a function, f(x), (df/dx) = 0

f'(x) = (df/dx) = 6x² + 6x - 120 = 0

6x² + 6x - 120 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation,

x = 4 or x = -5

The two critical points, x = 4 and x = -5 are in the interval given [-5, 8] (the interval includes -5 and 8, because it's a closed interval)

b) To investigate the nature of the critical points, we obtain f"(x)

Because f'(x) changes sign at the critical points

If f"(x) > 0, then it's a minimum point and if f"(x) < 0 at c, then it's a maximum point.

f"(x) = (d²f/dx²) = 12x + 6

at critical point x = 4

f"(x) = 12x + 6 = 12(4) + 6 = 54 > 0, hence, x = 4 corresponds to a minimum point.

at critical point x = -5

f"(x) = 12x + 4 = 12(-5) + 4 = -56 < 0, hence, x = -5 corresponds to a maximum point.

c) At x = 4,

f(x) = 2x³ + 3x² - 120x + 6 = 2(4)³ + 3(4)² - 120(4) + 6 = -298

At x = - 5

f(x) = 2x³ + 3x² - 120x + 6 = 2(-5)³ + 3(-5)² - 120(-5) + 6 = 431

Put these numbers in order from least to greatest 1/8, -0.333, -1/7
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

-0.333, -1/7, 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 is the greatest because it is a positive number while the other two numbers are negative.

-0.333 or -1/3 is smaller than -1/7.

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given points G (4,6) H (1,5)
Delicious77 [7]

First, find the slope (m) = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{5 - 6}{1 - 4} = \frac{-1}{-3} = \frac{1}{3}

Now plug in ONE of the points and the slope into the point-slope equation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁); where (x₁, y₁) is the chosen point.

y - 5 = \frac{1}{3}(x - 1) (I used (1,5) as the chosen point)

3(y - 5) = x - 1

3y - 15 = x - 1

3y -14 = x

-14 = x - 3y → x - 3y = -14

Answer: x - 3y = -14

prisoha [69]

Answer:

since the unknown amount can buy 100 pencils

he bought 70 pencils

therefore $4.50 can buy 30 pencils

so 1 pencils cost $4.50 /30=0.15
