f(x) = ax ³ + bx ² - 5x + 9

then

f '(x) = 3ax ² + 2bx - 5

Given that f (-1) = 12 and f '(-1) = 3, we get the system of equations

-a + b + 5 + 9 = 12

3a - 2b - 5 = 3

-a + b = -2

3a - 2b = 8

Multiply through the first equation by 2 and add it to the second one to eliminate b and solve for a :

2(-a + b) + (3a - 2b) = 2(-2) + 8

-2a + 2b + 3a - 2b = -4 + 8

a = 4

Substitute this into the first equation above to solve for b :

-4 + b = -2

b = 2

You have torn a tendon and are facing surgery to repair it. the surgeon explains the risks to you: the probability of infection

skad [1K]

P(most favorable outcome) = 1 -(0.03 +0.16 -0.01) = 0.82

_____
"repair fails" includes the "infection and failure" case, as does "infection". By adding the probability of "repair fails" and "infection", we count the "infection and failure" case twice. So, we have to subtract the probability of "infection and failure" from the sum of "repaire fails" and "infection" in order to count each bad outcome only once.

The probability of a good outcome is the complement of the probability of a bad outcome.

Consider the spiral given by c(t) = (e2t cos(2t), e2t sin(2t)). Show that the angle between c and c' is constant. c'(t) = _____L

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

angle is 45° which is constant

Step-by-step explanation:

We use formula for two vectors a and b to calculate angle θ between them by formula

cos θ = a . b / magnitude of a  × magnitude of b
