Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
k
A)48
Explanation:
2^3 - 2^2 = 8 - 4 = 4
3^3 - 3^2 = 27 - 9 = 18
4^3 - 4^2 = 64 - 16 = 48
5^3 - 5^2 = 125 - 25 = 100
6^3 - 6^2 = 216 - 36 = 180
7^3 - 7^2 = 343 - 49 = 294
8^3 - 8^2 = 512 - 64 = 448
1,2, and 6 are all no’s but everything else is yes I believe
415529284.606 is the correct answer
The critical points are at x = 1 and x = 4 giving you the intervals (-inf, 1), (1, 4) and (4, inf).
By substituting x values in these 3 intervals, you can see that f'(x) is positive in the first and third intervals and negative in the second interval.
This means that f(x) is increasing in the first and third intervals and decreasing in the second interval.
The answer is D.
