Answer:

  maximum difference is 38 at x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is nicely solved by a graphing calculator, which can plot the difference between the functions. The attached shows the maximum difference on the given interval is 38 at x = -3.

__

Ordinarily, the distance between curves is measured vertically. Here that means you're interested in finding the stationary points of the difference between the functions, along with that difference at the ends of the interval. The maximum difference magnitude is what you're interested in.

  h(x) = g(x) -f(x) = (2x³ +5x² -15x) -(x³ +3x² -2) = x³ +2x² -15x +2

Then the derivative is ...

  h'(x) = 3x² +4x -15 = (x +3)(3x -5)

This has zeros (stationary points) at x = -3 and x = 5/3. The values of h(x) of concern are those at x=-5, -3, 5/3, 3. These are shown in the attached table.

The maximum difference between f(x) and g(x) is 38 at x = -3.

What is the radius of the base of the cylinder below? A cylinder with height of 36 inches and diameter of 42 inches.
almond37 [142]

Answer:  21  inches

The diameter is 42, so you cut this in half to get 21. The height of 36 does not affect the diameter or radius, so we can ignore it.

5x^2-7x=4x^2-10 solve
Luda [366]

Answer:

x = 0, x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5x² - 7x = 4x² - 10 ← subtract 4x² - 10x from both sides

x² + 3x = 0 ← in standard form

Factor out x from each term

x(x + 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x = 0

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
