For what values of x∈[0,2π] does the graph of y=x+2cosx have a horizontal tangent?

Katen [24]3 years ago

Answer: x = pi/6 and x = pi/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

y = x + 2*cos(x)

It will have a horizontal tangent at the point where it's derivate is equal to zero.

Then first let's differentiate y.

y' = dy/dx = 1 - 2*sin(x).

Then we must find the value of x between 0 and 2*pi (or 0° and 360°)

y'(x) = 1 - 2*sin(x) = 0.

Let's solve that:

2*sin(x) = 1

sin(x) = 1/2.

We know that:

sin(30°) = 1/2.

and

Sin(120°) = 1/2

Then let's convert 30° into radians.

We know that:

pi = 180°.

Then:

pi/180° = 1.

30° = 30°*(pi/180°) = (30°/180°)*pi = (3/18)*pi = pi/6

120° = (120°/180°)*pi = (12/18)*pi = (1/3)*pi = pi/3.

Then the two values of x are: pi/6 and pi/3.

What is the y-value of the vertex of the function f(x) = –(x + 8)(x – 14)? The y-value of the vertex is .
enot [183]
      Best Answer:  <span> y=18x^2+9x+14

y=18(x^2+(1/2)x + 1/16) + 14 - 9/8

y = 18(x + 1/4)^2 + 103/8


For y = a*(x - h)^2 + k, (h, k) the vertex

Your vertex: (- 1/4, 103/8)

Equation of axis of symmetry is x = (x-coordinate of vertex) OR x = - 1/4

y-intercept is y-value when x = 0, y = 14

x-intercept(s) do not exist for this upward opening parabola whose vertex y-value is above the x-axis.

The minimum of the function is the y-value of the vertex, 103/8.
=======================================...

Seems like Dizzle was in too much of a hurry and Jeff just copied Dizzle's answer.

The correct way of doing what dizzle TRIED to do:

For y = a*x^2 + b*x + c, the vertex occurs when x = - b / (2*a)

y=18x^2+9x+14

a = 18
b = 9

- b / (2*a) = - (9) / (2*18) = - 9 / 36 = - 1/4

Take that value for x, evaluate function at that value to get y.
=======================================...
Was so giddy about dizzle's faux pas that I originally did this work. May as well share it:

x-intercept(s) can be found by setting function equal to zero and solving:

y = 18(x + 1/4)^2 + 103/8

0 = 18(x + 1/4)^2 + 103/8

18(x + 1/4)^2 = - 103/8

(x + 1/4)^2 = - 103/144

x + 1/4 = +/- i*sqrt(103)/12

x = - 1/4 +/- i*sqrt(103)/12 OR x = [- 3 +/- i*sqrt(103)] / 12

These are the roots of the equation f(x) = 0

Since the roots are complex, there are no x-intercepts. The function is entirely above the x-axis. </span>

Pls solve this!!!!! Points!!!!!!!
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that both equations are equal, solve the distributive property and then just solve for X:

2x + 2(3x-1) = 3(x+1)
2x + 6x - 2 = 3x + 3
5x = 5
x = 1

Therefore, the value of X is 1.

To know the perimeter of the triangle, we apply the value of X to solve the equation.
3(x + 1)
3(1 + 1)
3 + 3 = 6.

Therefore, each figure's perimeter is 6, as both are equal.
