Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given f(x)=ln(1+x)-x+(1/2)x^2.

We are first ask to differentiate this.

We will need chain rule for first term and power rule for all three terms.

f'(x)=(1+x)'/(1+x)-(1)+(1/2)×2x

f'(x)=(0+1)/(1+x)-(1)+x

f'(x)=1/(1+x)-(1)+x

We are then ask to prove if x is positive then f is positive.

I'm thinking they want us to use the derivative part in our answer.

Let's look at the critical numbers.

f' is undefined at x=-1 and it also makes f undefined.

Let's see if we can find when expression is 0.

1/(1+x)-(1)+x=0

Find common denominator:

1/(1+x)-(1+x)/(1+x)+x(1+x)/(1+x)=0

(1-1-x+x+x^2)/(1+x)=0

A fraction can only be zero when it's numerator is.

Simplify numerator equal 0:

x^2=0

This happens at x=0.

This means the expression,f, is increasing or decreasing after x=0. Let's found out what's happening there. f'(1)=1/(1+1)-(1)+1=1/2 which means after x=0, f is increasing since f'>0 after x=0.

So we should see increasing values of f when we up the value for x after 0.

Plugging in 0 gives: f(0)=ln(1+0)-0+(1/2)0^2=0.

So any value f, after this x=0, should be higher than 0 since f(0)=0 and f' told us f in increasing after x equals 0.

Artemon [7]
3x+7y=-6 -7x+3y=26 -4x+4y=-32 +4x on both sides and you end up with 4y=-32+4x now divide both sides by 4 and you get y=-8+x then to incorporate that in one of the problems 3x+7(-8+x)=-6 do the distributive property with the 7 into the () and you get 3x-56+7x=-6 now add all common variables and get 10x-56=-6 now add 56 to both sides and you get 10x=50 now divide by 10 on both side and you get x=5 now for getting y to equal a number instead of an equation 3(5)+7y=-6 15+7y=-6 subtract 15 on both sides to get 7y=-21 not divide by 7 on both sides to get y=-3 your answers are y=-3 and x=5

Factor completely 81x8 − 1. (9x4 − 1)(9x4 1) (3x2 − 1)(3x2 1)(9x4 − 1) (3x2 − 1)(3x2 1)(9x4 1) (3x2 − 1)(3x2 1)(3x2 1)(3x2 1).
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

(3x^2 - 1)(3x^2 + 1)(9x^4 + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the identity for the difference of 2 squares;

a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)  

we put a^2 = 81x^8 and b^2 = 1  giving

a = 9x^4 and b = 1, so:

81x^8 − 1 =   (9x^4 - 1)(9x^4 + 1)

Applying the difference of 2 squares to 9x^4 - 1:

= (3x^2 - 1)(3x^2 + 1)(9x^4 + 1).
