Answer:
Option b. $7.68
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
1) The music store is having a 15% off sale on all classical music cds
If the cd has a price of $23.99
then
The price with 15% off sale is equal to
2) Lyell has a coupon for 20% off any classical music cd.
If the cd with a 15% off sale has a price of $20.39
then
The price with a coupon for 20% off is equal to

Answer:
m ≥ -√5
Step-by-step explanation:
If g(x) = f(|x|) for x∈i, then g(x) = f(x) for x∈ℝ: x ≥ 0.
f'(x) is 5th-degree, so f(x) is 6th-degree, meaning it is generally U-shaped. Since we're only concerned with x ≥ 0, we want to make sure f'(x) has no real zeros of odd multiplicity such that x > 0. The given factors of f'(x) make it have real zeros at x = -3 and x = -1.
For the last factor, (x² +2mx +5) to have no positive real zeros of odd multiplicity, we must have m ≥ 0 or the discriminant ≤ 0. The discriminant is ...
d = b² -4ac = (2m)² -4(1)(5) = 4m² -20 . . . . . discriminant of the last factor
d ≤ 0 . . . . . . . . . . the condition for no real zeros
4m² -20 ≤ 0
m² -5 ≤ 0 . . . . . . divide by 4
m² ≤ 5 . . . . . . . . .add 5
|m| ≤ √5 . . . . . . . take the square root
This tells us there will be a positive real zero of multiplicity 2 in f'(x) when m = -√5, and there will be no positive real zeros for -√5 < m < 0
There will be no odd-multiplicity positive real zeros in the derivative function f'(x) as long as m ≥ -√5. This means the slope of f(x) is non-negative for x ≥ 0, hence f(|x|) has its only minimum at x=0.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The multiplicity of the zeros of f'(x) is important because the derivative will only change sign where the multiplicity is odd. When the discriminant of (x²+2mx+5) is zero, the associated positive real zero will have multiplicity 2, hence f'(x) will not change sign there.
