Answer»

f(x) has one+vepoint of MAXIMA.
f(x) hasone -ve point of minima
f(x)=0 has threedistinct ROOTS
Localminimum value of f(x)is zero

Solution :`Delta =(1)/(a) |{:(a^(3)+ax,,ab,,ac),(a^(2)b,,b^(2)+x,,bc),(a^(2)c,,bc,,c^(2)+x):}|`
Applying `C_(1) to C_(1)+bC_(2) +cC_(2)` and taking `a^(2) +b^(2)+c^(2)+x` COMMON we GET
`Delta =(1)/(a)(a^(2)+b^(2)+c^(2)+x) |{:(a,,ab,,ac),(b,,b^(2)+x,,bc),(c,,bc,,c^(2)+x):}|`
Applying `C_(2) to C_(2)-bC_(1) " and " C_(3) to C_(3)-cC_(1)` we get
`Delta =(1)/(a)(a^(2)+b^(2)+c^(2)+x) |{:(a,,0,,0),(b,,x,,0),(c,,0,,x):}|`
`=(1)/(a) (a^(2) +b^(2)+c^(2)+x) (ax^(2))`
`=x^(2) (a^(2)+b^(2)+c^(2)+x)`

Solution :`I=intx^(-1//2)(2+3x^(1//3))^(-2)dx`
Let ` x=t^(6) " or " dx=6T^(5)dt`
` :. I=int t^(-3)(2+3t^(2))^(-2) *6t^(5) dt`
`=6 int (t^(2))/((2+3t^(2))^(2))dt`

Professor Malingowski, a chemist and teacher at to communite college, is organizing his graduated cylinders in the hopes of keeping his office tidy and setting a good example for his students. He has beakers with diameters, in inches, of 1/2,3/4,4/5,1 and 5/4. With his original five cylinders, Professor Malingowski realizes that he is missing a cylinder necessary for his upcominglab demonstration for Thurday's class. He remembers that the cylinder the needs, when added to the original five, will create a median diameter value of 9/10 for the set of six total cylinders. He also knows that the measure of the sixth cylinder will exceed the value of the range of the current five cylinders by a width of anywhere from 1/4 inches to 1/2 inches, inclusive. Based on the above data, which is one possible value of y, the diameter of this missing sixth cylinder?

In 1919, H. S. Reed and R. H. Holland published a paper on the growth of sunflowers. Included in the paper were the table and graph above, which show the height h, in centimeters, of a sunflower t days after the sunflower begins to grow. Over which of the following time periods is the average growth rate of the sunflower least?

Answer»

Day 0 to Day 21
Day 21 to Day 42
Day 42 to Day 63
Day 63 to Day 84

Solution :The average growth rate of the sunflower over a certain time period is the increase in height of the sunflower over the period divided by the time. Symbolically, this rate is `(h(B)-h(a))/(b-a)` ,where a and b are the first and the last day of the time period, respectively. Sincethe time period for each option is the same (21 DAYS), the total growth over the period can be used to evaluate in which time period the sunflower grew the least. According to the graph, the sunflower grew the least over the period from day 63 to day 84. Therefore, the sunflower’s average growth rate was the least from day 63 to day 84.
Alternate approach: The average growth rate of the sunflower over a certain time period is the slope of the line segment that joins the point on the graph at the beginning of the time period with the point on the graph at the end of the time period. Based on the graph, of the four time periods, the slope of the line segment is least between the sunflower’s height on day 63 and its height on day 84.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. On the graph, the line segment from day 63 to 84 is less steep than each of the THREE other line segments representing other periods. Therefore, the average growth rate of the sunflower is the least from day 63 to 84.

In 1919, H. S. Reed and R. H. Holland published a paper on the growth of sunflowers. Included in the paper were the table and graph above, which show the height h, in centimeters, of a sunflower t days after the sunflower begins to grow. The function h, defined by h(t) = at + b , where a and b are constants, models the height, in centimeters, of the sunflower after t days of growth during a time period in which the growth is approximately linear. What does a represent?

Answer»

The predicted NUMBER of centimeters the sunflower grows each day during the period
The predicted height, in centimeters, of the sunflower at the beginning of the period
The predicted height, in centimeters, of the sunflower at the end of the period
The predicted total increase in the height of the sunflower, in centimeters, during the period

Solution :Based on the DEFINITION and contextual interpretation of the function h, when the value of t increases by 1, the height of the sunflower increases by a centimeters. Therefore, a represents the predicted AMOUNT, in centimeters, by which the sunflower grows each day during the period the function MODELS.
Choice B is incorrect. In the given model, the beginning of the period corresponds to t = 0, and since h(0) = b, the predicted height, in centimeters, of the sunflower at the beginning of the period is represented by b, not by a. Choice C is incorrect. If the period of time modeled by the function is c days long, then the predicted height, in centimeters, of the sunflower at the end of the period is represented by ac + b, not by a. Choice D is incorrect. If the period of time modeled by the function is c days long, the predicted total increase in the height of the sunflower, in centimeters, during that period is represented by the difference h(c) − h(0) = (ac + b) − (a · 0 + b), which is equivalent to ac, not a.
