Depends. It’s called an asterisk.
In math it’s used for multiplying.
So 5*5= 25

A company is testing and comparing two candle designs. The box plots show the number of hours that each candle design lasts befo

Natalija [7]

Since these are box plots, they're based on a lot of data, and we cannot say for certain whether something will be true, but it can give us a good idea. So this means that options A & B are out, since they say 'will always', but we can never say for sure with box plots.

The boxes of the box plot represent basically the average of the data. The beginning of the box is the first quartile, the end of the box is the third quartile, and the line in the middle is the median, which is the middle of the data. Since the box in the box plot of Design A is greater than the box in the box plot of Design B, we can say it's likely that candle Design A will last longer than candle Design B, or option C.

Consider the following function. f(x) = 9 − x2/3 Find f(−27) and f(27). f(−27) = f(27) = Find all values c in (−27, 27) such tha

I guess the function is $f(x)=9-x^{2/3}$ . Then $f(-27)=0$ and $f(27)=0$ .

The derivative is $f'(x)=-\dfrac23 x^{-1/3}$ , but there is no $c$ such that

$-\dfrac23c^{-1/3}=0$

This doesn't contradict Rolle's theorem because $f'(0)$ does not exists. In other words, $f$ is not differentiable on (-27, 27), so the conditions of Rolle's theorem are not met. (Looks like that would be the last option, or the second to last option if the last one is "Nothing can be concluded")
