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}

24 less than 4 times a number is 60. what is the number?
kondaur [170]
Hey there! :D

Make an algebraic expression. 

Let the 'number' equal x. 

4x-24= 60

Add 24 on both sides. 

4x= 84

Divide both sides by 4. 

x=21

The number is 21. 

I hope this helps!

Karla is correct. 10 x 1/2 = 5. 15 + 5 =20.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given (0.0109;0.1651).  

We are confident at 95% that the difference between the two proportions is between 0.0109 \leq p_{elementary} -p_{High school} \leq 0.1651

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

p_A represent the real population proportion for elementary school  

\hat p_A =\frac{226}{397}=0.569 represent the estimated proportion for elementary school

n_A=397 is the sample size required for Brand A

p_B represent the real population proportion for high school teachers  

\hat p_B =\frac{129}{268}=0.481 represent the estimated proportion for high school teachers

n_B=268 is the sample size required for Brand B

z represent the critical value for the margin of error  

The population proportion have the following distribution  

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})  

The confidence interval for the difference of two proportions would be given by this formula  

(\hat p_A -\hat p_B) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_A(1-\hat p_A)}{n_A} +\frac{\hat p_B (1-\hat p_B)}{n_B}}  

For the 95% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.  

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96  

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:  

(0.569-0.481) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.569(1-0.569)}{397} +\frac{0.481(1-0.481)}{268}}=0.0109  

(0.569-0.481) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.569(1-0.569)}{397} +\frac{0.481(1-0.481)}{268}}=0.1651  

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.0109;0.1651).  

We are confident at 95% that the difference between the two proportions is between 0.0109 \leq p_{elementary} -p_{High school} \leq 0.1651

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by gi
GuDViN [60]

The time that rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second is 10.43 seconds

Given the equation representing the height reached by a rocket as:

y = -16x^2 + 157x + 104

The rocket will hit the ground when y = 0. Substituting y = 0 into the expression to get x;

0 = -16x^2 + 157x + 104\\16x^2 - 157x - 104 = 0\\

On factorizing:

x = 10.43 seconds

Hence the time that rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second is 10.43 seconds
