Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

n represents our number. So, twice a number would be 2n because twice means multiply by two.

When the problem says 6 less, then it means 6 less than 2n. So, it would look like 2n-6.

FInally, the problem says that all of this equals 17 so 17 would be the result.

So, you answer is 2n-6 = 17. This is answer choice B.

Find the intervals on which the function is increasing or decreasing.

Assoli18 [71]

To solve this, you have to know that the first derivative of a function is its slope. When an interval is increasing, it has a positive slope. Thus, we are trying to solve for when the first derivative of a function is positive/negative.

f(x)=2x^3+6x^2-18x+2
f'(x)=6x^2+12x-18
f'(x)=6(x^2+2x-3)
f'(x)=6(x+3)(x-1)
So the zeroes of f'(x) are at x=1, x=-3
Because there is no multiplicity, when the function passes a zero, he y value is changing signs.
Since f'(0)=-18, intervals -3<x<1 is decreasing(because -3<0<1)
Thus, every other portion of the graph is increasing.
Therefore, you get:

Increasing: (negative infinite, -3), (1, infinite)
Decreasing:(-3,1)

Use the Taylor series you just found for sinc(x) to find the Taylor series for f(x) = (integral from 0 to x) of sinc(t)dt based

Marina CMI [18]

In this question (brainly.com/question/12792658) I derived the Taylor series for $\mathrm{sinc}\,x$ about $x=0$ :

$\mathrm{sinc}\,x=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^nx^{2n}}{(2n+1)!}$

Then the Taylor series for

$f(x)=\displaystyle\int_0^x\mathrm{sinc}\,t\,\mathrm dt$

is obtained by integrating the series above:

$f(x)=\displaystyle\int\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^nx^{2n}}{(2n+1)!}\,\mathrm dx=C+\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^nx^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)^2(2n)!}$

We have $f(0)=0$ , so $C=0$ and so

$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^nx^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)^2(2n)!}$

which converges by the ratio test if the following limit is less than 1:

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{\frac{(-1)^{n+1}x^{2n+3}}{(2n+3)^2(2n+2)!}}{\frac{(-1)^nx^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)^2(2n)!}}\right|=|x^2|\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{(2n+1)^2(2n)!}{(2n+3)^2(2n+2)!}$

Like in the linked problem, the limit is 0 so the series for $f(x)$ converges everywhere.
