The graph of F ( x ) = 4/x2 - 2x - 3 is shown <br> for which values of X is f ( x ) decreasing
Elza [17]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{(-\infty, \sqrt[3]{-4}) \text{ and } (0, \infty) }

We can find the values of x for which f(x) is decreasing by finding the derivative of f(x):

f(x) = \frac{4}{x^2} - 2x - 3

Taking the derivative gets:

f'(x) = -\frac{8}{x^3} - 2

Find the values for which f'(x) < 0 (less than 0, so f(x) decreasing):

0 = -8/x³ - 2

2 = -8/x³

2x³ = -8

x³ = -4

x = \sqrt[3]{-4}

Another critical point is also where the graph has an asymptote (undefined), so at x = 0.

Plug in points into the equation for f'(x) on both sides of each x value to find the intervals for which the graph is less than 0:

f'(1) = -8/1 - 2 = -10 < 0

f'(-1) = -8/(-1) - 2 = 6 > 0

f'(-2) = -8/-8 - 2 = -1 < 0

Thus, the values of x are:

(-\infty, \sqrt[3]{-4}) \text{ and } (0, \infty)

A quarterback throws a football to a teammate. The football is 6.5ft above the ground when it leaves the quarterback's hand. His
sergejj [24]

Answer:

y = - 16t² + 55.6t + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using y - y₀ = vt - 1/2gt² where g = 32 ft/s², and v the velocity of the football

So y = y₀ + vt - 1/2 × (32 ft/s²)t²

y = y₀ + vt - 16t² where y₀ = 6.5 ft

y = 6 + vt - 16t²

Now, when t = 3.5 s, that is the time the teammate catches the ball after the quarterback throws it, y = 5 ft. Substituting these into the equation, we have

5 = 6.5 + v(3.5 s) - 16(3.5 s)²

5 = 6.5 + 3.5v - 196

collecting like terms, we have

5 - 6.5 + 196 = 3.5v

194.5 = 3.5v

v = 194.5/3.5 = 55.57 ft/s ≅ 55.6 ft/s

So, substituting v into y, our quadratic model is

y = 6 + 55.6t - 16t²

re-arranging, we have

y = - 16t² + 55.6t + 6

The amount of freezers that can be shipped is 70. I'm not completely sure, because I do not know how many pounds the ovens are. But to get the answer, just simply divide 42000 by 600.

Find the measure of VU<br> Can someone help me??<br><br> I need to show the work
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

<h2>VU=16</h2><h2>x=2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

lets solve the problem 7x+2=3x+10

subtract 3x from 7x

4x+2=10

subtract 2 from 10

4x=8

divide both sides by 4

x=2

to find VU plug in 2 for x so...

3(2)+10

6+10

16

I hope this helped you :)
