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}

Ariele is hiking down into the canyon. She starts at the rim and hikes down 55 feet in 234 minutes. If she continues at this rat
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

This means that she will be 16.35 ft away from the rim in 15 minutes at this current rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

What we are asked here is imply to state how long in terms of distance would be Arielle position after 15 minutes

Now, 55 ft will take her 234 minutes

x ft will take her 15 minutes

x * 234 = 55 * 15

234x = 3825

x = 3825/234

x = 16.35 ft

This means that she will be 16.35 ft away from the rim in 15 minutes at this current rate.

The as-served cost of a kid's dinner special is $2.25. If the restaurant uses a target cost percentage of 35%, what is the targe
Margaret [11]

Answer:

$3.0375

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price of dinner = $2.25

If cost percentage of 35%, then the additional cost paid will be;

35% * 2.25

= 0.35 * 2.25

= $0.7875

Target price = Original price + additional cost

Target price = $2.25 + $0.7875

Target price = $3.0375
