Answer: Statement p is false.
Step-by-step explanation:
In both cases, we need to isolate the variables:
p: -3*x + 8*x - 5*x = x
(-3*x - 5*x) + 8*x = x
-8x + 8*x = x
0 = x
This will be true only for one value of x, so this is not always true, which means that the statement is false.
q: (3*x)*(5*y) = 15*x*y
let's solve the left side:
3*x*5*y = 15*x*y
(3*5)*(x*y) = 15*x*y
15*x*y = 15*x*y
This is true for every value of x and y, then this statement is true.
By distributing the 4 onto the 5x and the 6, you would end up with 20x + 24.
Answer:
f(x) = 2x³ - 6x² - 48x + 24
relative minimum: (4,-136)
relative maximum: (-2,80)
answer is the second option
