Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the function below. f(x) = x3 − 9x2 + 3, − 3 2 ≤ x ≤ 12 Solution Since f is cont

inuous on − 3 2 , 12 , we can use the Closed Interval Method. f(x) = x3 − 9x2 + 3 f ′(x) = 3x2−18x . Since f ′(x) exists for all x, the only critical numbers of f occur when f ′(x) = , that is, x = 0 or x = . Notice that each of these critical numbers lies in − 3 2 , 12 . The values

Answer:

There are an absolute minimum (x = 6) and an absolute maximum (x = 12).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement is described below:

Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the function below:

f(x) = x^{3}-9\cdot x^{2}+ 3, 2 \leq x \leq 12

Given that function is a polynomial, then we have the guarantee that function is continuous and differentiable and we can use First and Second Derivative Tests.

First, we obtain the first derivative of the function and equalize it to zero:

f'(x) = 3\cdot x^{2}-18\cdot x

3\cdot x^{2}-18\cdot x = 0

3\cdot x \cdot (x-6) = 0 (Eq. 1)

As we can see, only a solution is a valid critical value. That is: x = 6

Second, we determine the second derivative formula and evaluate it at the only critical point:

f''(x) = 6\cdot x -18 (Eq. 2)

x = 6

f''(6) = 6\cdot (6)-18

f''(6) =18 (Absolute minimum)

Third, we evaluate the function at each extreme of the given interval and the critical point as well:

x = 2

f(2) = 2^{3}-9\cdot (2)^{2}+3

f(2) = -25

x = 6

f(6) = 6^{3}-9\cdot (6)^{2}+3

f(6) = -105

x = 12

f(12) = 12^{3}-9\cdot (12)^{2}+3

f(12) = 435

There are an absolute minimum (x = 6) and an absolute maximum (x = 12).

What is the value of x
kozerog [31]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

If the upper triangle has a right angle at Island C, we need only use the Pythagorean Theorem to find x:

(10 mi)^2 + (20 mi)^2 = x^2, so that

x^2 = 100 mi^2 + 400 mi^2 = 500 mi^2, which reduces to

x = +10√5 mi

Note that the shortest side (10 mi) is adjacent to a 30 degree angle.  Thus, the upper triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle, meaning that the Pythagorean Theorem DOES apply here.

Next time, please incude ALL of the verbal instructions.  Thank you.

A railroad crossing sign has a diameter of 30 inches. what is the area of the sign?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

706.5m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The sign is a circle

Area of a circle is (pi)r^2

d = 30 in -> r = d/2  = 30/2 = 15

Area = 3.14 x (15)^2 = 706.5m^2

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle are three sides of two sides being equal in lengths.

If that is the case, the two opposite slanting sides which are equal, must be longer. Invariably, the third side is 12.
