MCE = 360 - (150 + 70 + 50)
mCE = 360 - 270
mCE = 90

<CDE = 1/2(mBE + mCE)
<CDE = 1/2(150 + 90)
<CDE = 1/2(240)
<CDE = 120

answer
<CDE = 120°

Given LaTeX: f\left(x\right)=x^{^3}-3x+4f ( x ) = x 3 − 3 x + 4, determine the intervals where the function is increasing and wh

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Increasing: $x$ and $x>1$ .

Decreasing: $-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function $f(x)=x^3-3x+4$ . We are asked to determine the intervals, where the function is increasing and where it is decreasing.

First of all, we will find critical points of our given function by equating derivative of our given function to 0.

Let us find derivative of our given function.

$f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(x^3)-\frac{d}{dx}(3x)+\frac{d}{dx}(4)$

$f'(x)=3x^{3-1}-3+0$

$f'(x)=3x^{2}-3$

Let us equate derivative with 0 as find critical points as:

$0=3x^{2}-3$

$3x^{2}=3$

Divide both sides by 3:

$x^{2}=1$

Now we will take square-root of both sides as:

$\sqrt{x^{2}}=\pm\sqrt{1}$

$x=\pm 1$

$x=-1,1$

We know that these critical points will divide number line into three intervals. One from negative infinity to -1, 2nd -1 to 1 and 3rd 1 to positive infinity.

Now we will check one number from each interval. If derivative of the point is greater than 0, then function is increasing, if derivative of the point is less than 0, then function is decreasing.

We will check -2 from our 1st interval.

$f'(-2)=3(-2)^{2}-3=3(4)-3=12-3=9$

Since 9 is greater than 0, therefore, function is increasing on interval $(-\infty, -1) \text{ or } x$ .

Now we will check 0 for 2nd interval.

$f'(0)=3(0)^{2}-3=0-3=-3$

Since -3 is less than 0, therefore, function is decreasing on interval $(-1,1) \text{ or } -1$ .

We will check 2 from our 3rd interval.

$f'(2)=3(2)^{2}-3=3(4)-3=12-3=9$

Since 9 is greater than 0, therefore, function is increasing on interval $(1,\infty) \text{ or } x>1$ .

Patty has 8 flowerpots, and she wants to plant a different type of flower in each pot. There are 11 types of flower available at

Dominik [7]

The combination formula is given by

C(n, r) = $\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

C(11, 8) = $\frac{11!}{(11-8)!8!}$

C(11, 8) = 165

So, there are 165 ways of choosing 8 flowers out of 11 flowers

A teacher writes the following product on the board:

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Zhenghao is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

(2x+3)(x + 4) = x² + 7x + 12

The only two factors of x² + 7x + 12 different from 1 ,-1 and and itself are (2x+3) and (x + 4)

If Hafsana says that (x + 3) is a factor of x² + 7 + 12, He or she is not correct.

If Zhenghao says that x² + 7x + 12 is divisible by 2x + 3, He or she is correct because (2x + 3) is a factor of x² + 7x + 12
