Explanation:

<u>Linear trend</u>

A linear trend is one that is best approximated by a straight line. Sometimes we use a straight-line approximation, even when it may not be a very good fit, because we are only interested in the sign of the slope, or its approximate magnitude. The parameters of a linear trend are about the easiest to calculate (though it doesn't matter much if an appropriate tool is used).

<u>Non-linear trend</u>

A non-linear trend is one that is best approximated by a curve other than a straight line. Trig functions (sine, cosine), exponential functions, quadratic functions are often used. Non-linear trends are not restricted to these kinds of functions.

What is the factorization of 729x^15 + 1000?

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

729x¹⁵ + 1000

This is a case of a sum of cubes.

729 is the cube of 9

1000 is the cube of 10

x¹⁵ is the cube of x⁵

A sum of perfect cubes can be factored into

(a + b) (a² - ab + b²)

(9x⁵+ 10) ((9x⁵)²-(9x⁵)(10) + 10²)

(9x⁵ + 10) (81x¹⁰ - 90x⁵ + 100) THIS IS THE FACTORIZATION

9x⁵ (81x¹⁰ - 90x⁵ + 100) + 10(81x¹⁰ - 90x⁵ + 100)

729x¹⁵ - 810x¹⁰ + 900x⁵ + 810x¹⁰ - 900x⁵ + 1000

729x¹⁵ - 810x¹⁰ + 810x¹⁰ + 900x⁵ - 900x⁵ + 1000

729x¹⁵ + 1000

Find the critical numbers sin^2x+cosx 0 < x< 2pi

ryzh [129]

$\bf sin^2(x)+cos(x)\iff [sin(x)]^2+cos(x)\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{dy}{dx}=2sin(x)cos(x)-sin(x)\implies 0=2sin(x)cos(x)-sin(x)
\\\\\\
0=sin(x)[2cos(x)-1]\implies 
\begin{cases}
0=sin(x)\\
sin^{-1}(0)=\measuredangle x\\
\pi \\
----------\\
0=2cos(x)-1\\\\ \frac{1}{2}=cos(x)\\\\ cos^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)=\measuredangle x\\\\ \frac{\pi }{3},\frac{5\pi }{3}
\end{cases}$
