the derivitive is just the slope
minimum happens when the derivitive goes from negative to positive, imagine a slope of the function, the minimum is where the slope goes from neative to positive, and to get there, it has to pass through 0
max happens when the derivitive goes from positive to negative
increaseing is when the derivitive is positive
so, based on what you said, the slope of f(x) is 0 at x=-3, x=1 and x=2 since those are where the derivitive is 0 (derivitive is just the slope)
A and B are wrong because the derivitive isn't 0 at those points
C is correct because increasing means that the derivitive is positive, and so therefo since the only hoirontal place in between 1 and 2 is 1.5, it must remain positive throughout and not dip down, C is right
D is wrong then
answer is C
Recall that for all t,
cos²(t) + sin²(t) = 1
Now,
x = 5 cos(t) - 7 ⇒ (x + 7)/5 = cos(t)
y = 5 sin(t) + 9 ⇒ (y - 9)/5 = sin(t)
so that substituting into the identity above, we get
((x + 7)/5)² + ((y - 9)/5)² = 1
which we can rewrite as
(x + 7)²/25 + (y - 9)²/25 = 1
(x + 7)² + (y - 9)² = 25
and this is the equation of a circle centered at (-7, 9) with radius 5.
12
First figure out of it is a arithmetic or geometric sequence, in this case it is a geometric sequence because you have to multiply, not add to find the next number.
Divide one number, I'll pick 324 by the number before it, 108, you get three.
Now divide 36 by 3, you get 12.
To check, multiply 12 by 3, you get 36, multiply that by 3, you get 108, and so on and so forth.
Probability that one is hired ans one not:
P ( A ) = (2 C 1 * 4 C 4) / 6 C 5 =
= ( 2 * 1 ) / 6 = 2/9 = 1 / 3
Answer: 1/3 or 33.33%
