Answer:

f(x) is increasing in the intervals (-∞,-4) and (9,∞)

f(x) is decreasing in the ingercal (-4,9)

The local extrema is:

local max at (-4,496)

and local min at (9,-1701)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must start by finding the derivative of the provided function, which we can find by using the power rule.

if f(x)=ax^{n} then f'(x)=anx^{n-1}

so we get:

f(x)=2x^{3}-15x^{2}-216x

f'(x)=6x^{2}-30x-216

in order to find the critical points we mus set the derivative equal to zero, since the local max an min will happen when the slope of the tangent line to the given point is zero, so we get:

6x^{2}-30x-216=0

we can solve this by factoring, so let's factor that equation:

6(x+4)(x-9)=0

we can now set each of the factors equal to zero so we get:

x+4=0 and x-9=0

when solving each for x we get that:

x=-4 and x=9

These are our critical points, now we can build the possible intervals we are going to use to determine where the function will be increasing and where it will be decreasing:

(-∞,-4), (-4,9) and (9,∞)

so now we need to test these intervals in the derivative to see if the graph will be increasing or decreasing in the given intervals. So let's pick x=-5 for the first one, x=0 for the second one and x=10 for the third one.

When evaluating them into the first derivative we get that:

f'(-5)=84, this is a positive answer so it means that the function is increasing in the interval (-∞,--4)

f'(0)=-216, this is a negative anser so it means that the function is decreasing in the interval (-4,9)

f'(10)=84, this is a positive answer so it means that the function is increasing in the interval (9,∞)

Now, for the local extrema, we can see that at x=-4, the function it's increasing on the left of this point while it's decreasing to the right, which means that there will be a local maximum at x=-4, so the local max is the point (-4,496)

We can see that at x=9, the function it's decreasing on the left of this point while it's increasing to the right, which means that there will be a local minimum at x=-9, so the local min is the point (9,-1701)

When Cullen cleaned behind his dresser, he found 73 cents, all in nickels and pennies. There were 25 coins. How many were nickel
Georgia [21]
Let n = number of nickels, and p = number of pennies.
The number of coins is 25, so we get this equation.
n + p = 25

The value of the coins is 0.05 per nickel, and 0.01 per penny.
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73

Now you have a system of equations.

n + p = 25
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73

Solve the first equation for n:
n = 25 - p

Now substitute into the second equation.

0.05(25 - p) + 0.01p = 0.73

1.25 - 0.05p + 0.01p = 0.73

-0.04p = -0.52

p = 13

There were 13 pennies.
Now we substitute 13 for p in n + p = 25 to find out the number of nickels.

n + 13 = 25
n = 12

There are 13 pennies and 12 nickels.

Check: 13 pennies and 12 nickels does total 25 coins.
13 * 0.01 + 12 * 0.05 = 0.13 + 0.60 = 0.73
The value is $0.73.
Our answer is correct.

If 2x+20 and 3x+20 makes a straight angke find value of x​
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a straight angle = 180°

Sum the angles and equate to 180

2x + 20 + 3x + 20 = 180

5x + 40 = 180 ( subtract 40 from both sides )

5x = 140 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 28
