To solve this, you have to know that the first derivative of a function is its slope. When an interval is increasing, it has a positive slope. Thus, we are trying to solve for when the first derivative of a function is positive/negative.
f(x)=2x^3+6x^2-18x+2
f'(x)=6x^2+12x-18
f'(x)=6(x^2+2x-3)
f'(x)=6(x+3)(x-1)
So the zeroes of f'(x) are at x=1, x=-3
Because there is no multiplicity, when the function passes a zero, he y value is changing signs.
Since f'(0)=-18, intervals -3<x<1 is decreasing(because -3<0<1)
Thus, every other portion of the graph is increasing.
Therefore, you get:
Increasing: (negative infinite, -3), (1, infinite)
Decreasing:(-3,1)
For this case we convert the mixed numbers to fractions:
Dwight:
Mike:
It is observed, that in fact, Mike takes more time to travel the road.
We subtract to know how much more time it takes Mike:

So, Mike takes
hours more than Dwight to walk the road.
Answer:
Mike takes
hours longer than Dwight to walk the road.
Answer:
length x width

Step-by-step explanation:
The law of detachment is a set of three sentences, such that:
- Sentence 1 is a statement of the form If p, then q
- Sentence 2 is a statement of the form p
- Sentence 3 is a conclusion of the form q
Let's see which of the options follow the pattern indicated above:
Option A: If an object is a square, it is a parallelogram. The object is a square. The object is a parallelogram. - MATCHES THE ABOVE PATTERN. Hence, is an example of the Law of Detachment.
Option B: If two angles are linear pairs, the angles are supplementary. The two angles are linear pairs. Therefore, the angles are supplementary. - DOES NOT MATCH THE ABOVE PATTERN.
Option C: If it is snowing, the play will be cancelled. If the play is cancelled, the theater will refund the cost of admission. Therefore, if it is snowing, the theater will refund the cost of admission to the play. - DOES NOT MATCH THE ABOVE PATTERN.
Option D: If it is snowing, the play will be cancelled. It is snowing. Therefore, the play is cancelled. - MATCHES THE ABOVE PATTERN. Hence, is an example of the Law of Detachment.
Hence, option A and option D are examples of the Law of Detachment.
