X^3 + 7*x^2 + -16*x-112
=(x + 4)*(x + 7)*(x - 4)
Answer:
The graph of f has an inflection point at x = 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
An inflection point occurs when the second derivative changes signs. Since f"(x) is decreasing and has an x-intercept at 0, it changes signs from + to -, so there is an inflection point at x = 0.
Note that if
, then
, and so we can collapse the system of ODEs into a linear ODE:
which is a pretty standard linear ODE with constant coefficients. We have characteristic equation
so that the characteristic solution is
Now let's suppose the particular solution is
. Then
and so
Thus the general solution for
is
and you can find the solution
by simply differentiating
.
Write the 2 equations:
5x-2y=18
-5x+3y=-22
You can see that the coefficients of x are opposites, so you can add them(the 2 equations) to eliminate x.
Adding them, you get:
y=-3
So now that you know y, you can substitute the value of y into one of the original equations. Let's substitute it in the first one:
5x+6=18
Solving this, we get:
5x=12
x=12/5
x=12/5, y=-3
The units change by 88 to 87 so the unit decrease by 1 I think
