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).

During with interval was the bicyclists speed the greatest?
Fudgin [204]

check the picture below.

namely, which of those intervals has the steepest slope, recall slope = average rate of change.

now, from the picture, notice, those two there are the steepest, the other three are leaning too much to the "ground".

so, from those two, which is the steepest anyway?  let's check their slope.


\bf \stackrel{\textit{from the 6th to the 8th hour}}{(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{104})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{146})} \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{146-104}{8-2}\implies \cfrac{42}{2}\implies 21~~\bigotimes \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}

\bf \stackrel{\textit{from the 1st to the 2nd hour}}{(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{12})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{34})} \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{34-12}{2-1}\implies \cfrac{22}{1}\implies 22~~\checkmark

From a group of 11 people, 4 are randomly selected. What is the probability the 4 oldest people in the group were selected
asambeis [7]

Answer:

<h2>4/11</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

<em>Probability = expected number of outcome/Total number of outcome</em>

If there are group of 11 people, then the total outcome of events will be 11

If we are to select 4 oldest people from the group, then the expected outcome is 4.

Hence, the probability that the 4 oldest people in the group were selected is 4/11.
