What is the value of c in the interval (5,8) guaranteed by Rolle's Theorem for the function g(x)=−7x3+91x2−280x−9? Note that g(5

)=g(8)=−9. (Do not include "c=" in your answer.)

Answer:

\displaystyle c = \frac{20}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Rolle's Theorem, if f(a) = f(b) in an interval [a, b], then there must exist at least one <em>c</em> within (a, b) such that f'(c) = 0.

We are given that g(5) = g(8) = -9. Then according to Rolle's Theorem, there must be a <em>c</em> in (5, 8) such that g'(c) = 0.

So, differentiate the function. We can take the derivative of both sides with respect to <em>x: </em>

<em />\displaystyle g'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left[ -7x^3 +91x^2 -280x - 9\right]<em />

Differentiate:

g'(x) = -21x^2+182x-280

Let g'(x) = 0:

0 = -21x^2+182x-280

Solve for <em>x</em>. First, divide everything by negative seven:

0=3x^2-26x+40

Factor:

<h3>0=(x-2)(3x-20)</h3>

Zero Product Property:

x-2=0 \text{ or } 3x-20=0

Solve for each case. Hence:

\displaystyle x=2 \text{ or } x = \frac{20}{3}

Since the first solution is not within our interval, we can ignore it.

Therefore:

\displaystyle c = \frac{20}{3}

The function c = 100 + 0.30m represents the cost c (in dollars) of renting a car after driving m miles. What would the cost be t
aleksley [76]

Answer:

c = $130

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

c = 100 + 0.30m

Where,

c = cost of renting a car (in dollars)

m = number of miles driven (in miles)

If m = 100 miles

c = 100 + 0.30m

= 100 + 0.30(100)

= 100 + 30

= 130

c = $130

f a rectangle has a perimeter of 70, a length of x and a width of x - 9, find the value of the length of the rectangle.
trasher [3.6K]

( x + (x  -  9))  \times 2 = 70 \\( 2x - 9) \times2= 70 \\ 4x - 18 = 70 \\ 4x = 70 + 18 = 88
x =  \frac{88}{4}  = 22
the length is 22


and the width is
22-9=17

What is the slope of the line shown?
Olin [163]

By using two arbitrary points on the line, we can find the slope using the slope formula:

\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m

We'll use the points (0, 4) and (5, 1) for this.

1 - 4 / 5 - 0

-3 / 5

The slope of the line is -3/5.
