PLEASE HELP ME WITH Question 5

kozerog [31]

There are many ways to solve number 5 as it is just an reduce/enlargement of equidistant fractions

The first method that came up to my mind is just dividing denominators.

For A) you can do 72 divided by 18 which would give you 4. Then you can divide the given numerator with the answer you got from dividing the denominators. This would be 8 divided by 4 which would give you two. This means that 2/18 is equal to 8/72. You can check by simplifying the fraction. Both 2/18 and 8/72 equal 9 when simplified, therefore correct.

You can use this method for b, either use a calculator because of the decimals or just remove the decimals and replace them later. Make sure when you use this method, you are always dividing the bigger number. So in B you would do 40.3 divided by 12.4

Given the function f(x) = x^4 + 3x^3 - 2x^2 - 6x - 1, use intermediate theorem to decide which of the following intervals contai

marta [7]

$f(x) = x^4 + 3x^3 - 2x^2 - 6x - 1$

Lets check with every option

(a) [-4,-3]

We plug in -4 for x and -3 for x

$f(-4) = (-4)^4 + 3(-4)^3 - 2(-4)^2 - 6(-4) - 1= 55$

$f(-3) = (-3)^4 + 3(-3)^3 - 2(-3)^2 - 6(-3) - 1= -1$

f(-4) is positive and f(-3) is negative. there is some value at x=c on the interval [-4,-3] where f(c)=0. so there exists atleast one zero on this interval.

(b) [-3,-2]

We plug in -3 for x and -2 for x

$f(-3) = (-3)^4 + 3(-3)^3 - 2(-3)^2 - 6(-3) - 1= -1$

$f(-2) = (-2)^4 + 3(-2)^3 - 2(-2)^2 - 6(-2) - 1= -5$

f(-2) is negative and f(-3) is negative. there is no value at x=c on the interval [-3,-2] where f(c)=0.

(c) [-2,-1]

We plug in -2 for x and -1 for x

$f(-2) = (-2)^4 + 3(-2)^3 - 2(-2)^2 - 6(-2) - 1= -5$

$f(-1) = (-1)^4 + 3(-1)^3 - 2(-1)^2 - 6(-1) - 1= 1$

f(-2) is negative and f(-1) is positive. there is some value at x=c on the interval [-2,-1] where f(c)=0. so there exists atleast one zero on this interval.

(d) [-1,0]

We plug in -1 for x and 0 for x

$f(-1) = (-1)^4 + 3(-1)^3 - 2(-1)^2 - 6(-1) - 1= 1$

$f(0) = (0)^4 + 3(0)^3 - 2(0)^2 - 6(0) - 1= -1$

f(-1) is positive and f(0) is negative. there is some value at x=c on the interval [-1,0] where f(c)=0. so there exists atleast one zero on this interval.

(e) [0,1]

We plug in 0 for x and 1 for x

$f(0) = (0)^4 + 3(0)^3 - 2(0)^2 - 6(0) - 1= -1$

$f(1) = (1)^4 + 3(1)^3 - 2(1)^2 - 6(1) - 1= -5$

f(0) is negative and f(1) is negative. there is no value at x=c on the interval [0,1] where f(c)=0.

(f) [1,2]

We plug in 1 for x and 2 for x

$f(1) = (1)^4 + 3(1)^3 - 2(1)^2 - 6(1) - 1= -5$

$f(2) = (2)^4 + 3(2)^3 - 2(2)^2 - 6(2) - 1= 19$

f(-4) is positive and f(-3) is negative. there is some value at x=c on the interval [-4,-3] where f(c)=0. so there exists atleast one zero on this interval.

so answers are (a) [-4,-3], (c) [-2,-1], (d) [-1,0], (f) [1,2]

What is 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1?

nordsb [41]

Welcome to the factorial world :) Remember the Exclamation Point ( ! ) on the calculator, that is called factorial.
For instance: 1! = 1
2! = 1 x 2
3! = 1 x 2 x 3
and so on
10! = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 8 x 9 x 10 = 3628800
Crazy enough, 0! is actually equal to 1, try that on your calculator XD
