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

A relation is (also) a function if every input x is mapped to a unique output y.

In terms of graphical representation, this implies that a graph represents a function if there doesn't exist a vertical line that intersects the graph more than once. So:

  1. The first graph is exactly a vertical line, so it's not a function.
  2. The second graph represents the function y=x, so it's a function: you can see that every possible vertical line crosses the graph only once.
  3. The third graph is not a function, because you can draw vertical lines that cross the graph twice.
  4. Similarly, in the fourth graph you can draw vertical lines that cross the graph twice
  5. The fifth graph is a function, because every vertical line crosses the graph once
  6. The last graph is a function, although discontinuous, for the same reason.

mezya [45]

Answer: (A) H0: μ = 140 mg vs. H1: μ ≠ 140 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually null hypothesis represents the claim that the values associated to the groups being tested have no statistical difference but alternative hypothesis supports the claim that there is statistical difference.

Let \mu be the population mean .

We are given that the mean potassium content of a popular sports drink is listed as 140 mg in a 32-oz bottle.

i.e. Null hypothesis :H_0:\mu=140

Alternative hypothesis for two tail hypothesis has sign (≠).

i.e. Alternative hypothesis : H_1 : \mu\neq140

∴ The hypotheses for a two-tailed test of the claimed potassium content:

H0: μ = 140 mg vs. H1: μ ≠ 140 mg
