Find the equations of any horizontal tangents to the curve
y = x^3 - 3x ^2 - 9x + 2

Answers

Answer 1

Answers:

y = -25

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the derivative of the function.

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} y = 3x^2-6x-9[/tex]  

The zeros of the derivative are the local extrema (Maximum & Minimum)

[tex]0 = 3x^2-6x-9[/tex]

Take out the greatest common factor, 3, to get this equation:

[tex]0 = 3(x^2-2x-3)[/tex]

Factor out the brackets.

[tex]0 = 3(x - 3) ( x + 1 )[/tex]

You are left with two possible values for x:

x = 3

x = -1

By substituting each value into the original function [tex]y = x^3 - 3x^2 - 9x + 2[/tex], you get the equation of any horizontal tangents to the curve.

When x = 3:

[tex]y = (3)^3 - 3(3)^2 - 9(3) + 2 = -25[/tex]       Meaning y = -25

When x = -1:

[tex]y = (-1)^3 - 3(-1)^2 - 9(-1) + 2 = 7[/tex]    Meaning  y = 7

Salena needs to purchase 9 skirts for a new job. her friend, Jamie goes with her each of the skirts costs $41. Salena says that she can find the total cost by multiplying 9 and 4 and adding that to product of 9 and 1. Jamie disagrees and says that she needs to find the product of 9 and 40 and add that to the product of 9 and 1. Who is correct and why?

Answers

Answer:

Jamie is correct. This is because 41 is a combination of 40 and 1. Salena thinks that the 4 is just a 4, however, the 4 is in the tens place, so the 41 without the 1 is 40. The answer to this 41 times 9 is 369. Not 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each skirt is $41

Salena needs 9

(9*40) + (9*1)

360   +   9

    $369

Zenzizenzicube is an obsolete word that represents the square of the square of a cube. In​ symbols, zenzizenzicube is written as

(((x^3)^2))^2

Required:
a. Use the chain rule twice to find the derivative.
b. Use the properties of exponents to first simplify the​ expression, and then find the derivative.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression (((x^3)^2))^2

a) Differentiating the function with respect to x using chain rule.

Given y = (((x^3)^2))^2

Let u = (x³)²

y = u²; dy/du = 2u

Let p = x³; dp/dx = 3x²

u = p²; du/dp = 2p

Applying the chain rule formula:

dy/dx = dy/du • du/dp • dp/dx

substitute in the formula

dy/dx = 2u•2p•3x²

Since u = (x³)² and p = x³

dy/dx = 2(x³)²(2x³)(3x²)

dy/dx = 12x^6•x^5

dy/dx = 12x¹¹

b) Using property of exponent

y = (((x^3)^2))^2

y = (x^6)²

y = x¹²

dy/dx = 12x^12-1

dy/dx = 12x^11

In a study of the effect of aluminum intake on the mental development of infants, a group of 54infants who had been born prematurely were given a special aluminum depleted intravenous-feeding solution. At an adjusted age of 18 months,the neurologic development of the infants were measured using the Bayley Mental Development Index (BMDI), a unitless scale with higher scores indicating higher development. They had a sample mean BMDI of 97.4 and a sample standard deviation of 18.0.The (BMDI) is similar to an IQ score, with 100 being the average in the general population.

Assuming all relevant assumptions are met, carry out the appropriate testto determine if infants who receivedthealuminum depleted intravenous-feeding solution had a significantly differentaverage BMDI score thaninthe general population. Be sure to include all the stepsfor full credit.

Given:critical value= = 2.00

Answers

Answer:

The decision rule is  

  Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

   The no sufficient evidence to conclude  that the average  BMDI score is different from the general population

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  sample size is  n  =  54

    The sample mean is  [tex]\= x  =  97.4[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]s = 18.0[/tex]

     The population mean is  [tex]\mu  =  100[/tex]

     The critical value  is  [tex]t_{critical } =  2.0[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as  

       [tex]t =  \frac{\= x - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>    [tex]t =  \frac{ 97.4  - 100}{\frac{ 18}{\sqrt{54} } }[/tex]

=>    [tex]t =-1.062[/tex]

Comparing the obtained t statistics with the critical value we see that

   The  critical value is not within the region of rejection (i.e -1.062 to 1.062  )

Hence the decision rule is  

  Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

   The no sufficient evidence to conclude  that the average  BMDI score is different from the general population

For this case, the discriminant will be given by

b ^ 2 - 4 * a * c

Where

b = 7

a = 3

c = 2

substituting

b ^ 2 - 4 * a * c = (7) ^ 2 - 4 * (3) * (2) = 25

Therefore the value of the discriminant is 25.

A deep sea diver descended from a rock that is 45 feet below

Answers

Diver descended 43 feet from the rock to the coral reef.
A deep sea diver descended from a rock that is 45 feet below sea level to a coral reef that is 88 feet below sea level.
To find : How far did the diver descend from the rock to the coral reef.
Solution : We have given
A deep sea diver descended below sea level = -45 feet .
A coral reef that is 88 feet below sea level = -88 feet.
Because we take the negative value below sea level( 0 ).
Difference = -45 - ( - 88)
Difference = -45 + 88 = 43
Diver descended 43 feet from the rock to the coral reef.
Therefore, Diver descended 43 feet from the rock to the coral reef.

Write an equation of the line passing through the point (8,-5) that is parallel to the line 2x – 6y=-3.
y = mx + b

Answers

Answer:

y=[tex]\frac{1}{3}\\[/tex]x - [tex]\frac{23}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Ist put the first equation in y=mx+b form

2x-6y=-3

subtract 2x on both sides

2x-6y=-3

-2x    =-2x

-6y=-2x-3

then divide both sides by -6

-6y=-2x-3

-6

that gives y=[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]x+[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] for the original equation

Then plug in the point and slope in y=mx+b

Use the same slope since the lines are parallel

(-5)=([tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex])(8)+b

-5=[tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]+b

then subtract 8/3 on both sides and that gives

-23/3 = b

then you can make the new equation using -23/3 for you b and 1/3 for your slop m

If an orthocenter lies inside of a triangle, then the triangle must be acute.

Orthocenter of a triangle is the intersection of any two of three altitudes of a triangle. The third altitude usually pass through the point of the first two altitudes.

When the orthocenter lies inside a triangle, the angles formed by the intersection of the three altitudes is less than 90 degrees.An acute triangle is a type of triangle whose angles are less than 90 degrees.

Thus, If an orthocenter lies inside of a triangle, then the triangle must be acute.

Combine the 13.00 - 6.00, getting 7.00

7.00 + 4X = 13.20

Subtract 7.00 from both sides:

7.00 + 4X = 13.20
-7.00 -7.00
------------------
4X = 6.00

Divide both sides by 4
