Open Question: Find all the zeros of the polynomial function?

Open Question: Find all the zeros of the polynomial function?

Factor-by-grouping yields:

-x³ - 4x + x^4 + 2x² - 8 = 0
-x(x² + 4) + (x² - 2)(x² + 4) = 0
(x² + 4)(x² - 2 - x) = 0
(x² + 4)(x² - x - 2) = 0
(x² + 4)(x - 2)(x + 1) = 0

Finally, by zero-product property:

x² + 4 = 0 and x - 2 = 0 and x + 1 = 0
x² = -4 and x = {2,-1}
x = ±v-4 and x = {-1,2}
x = {-1, 2, ±2i}

I hope this helps!

Open Question: find dp/dq for function P^2q=4p-3?

Open Question: find dp/dq for function P^2q=4p-3?

ok so everytime you differentiate p you need to put dp/dq next to it ok?

P^2q=4p-3

2*p(dp/dq)*q + p^2 = 4(dp/dq)

now get dp/dq on one side:

p^2 = 4(dp/dq) - 2*p*q(dp/dx)

p^2 = (dp/dq) (4 - 2pq)

p^2 /(4 - 2pq) = dp/dq

dp/dq = p^2 /(4 - 2pq)

Open Question: Integral of piecewise function?

Open Question: Integral of piecewise function?

Jump discontinuities are infinitesimally thin. They contribute NOTHING to the integral.

Plus, the limits of integration have no distinction between "=" and "<"...nor do they have any distinction between "=" and ">".

If you really want to be more comfortable, you can do the integration from 0 to 1 of f(x) = 3, and THEN add it to the integral of f(x) = 6 for integrating from 1+h to 2.

Then take the limit as h approaches zero. What do you get? You get exactly what you would get if you never even thought about what h is.

Integral of f(x)=3 from 0 to 1 = 3
Integral of f(x)=6 from 1+h to 2 = 6*(2 - (1 + h)) = 6*(1 - h)

Add them up:
3 + 6*(1 - h)

Now, take the limit as h approaches zero. What do you get? Why 3+6 of course, which equals 9. And that is exactly what you would get if you never thought about h.

To show you, suppose:
h=0.1...then 3+6*(1-h) = 8.4
h=0.01...then 3+6*(1-h) = 8.94
h=0.001...then 3+6*(1-h) = 8.994
h=0.0001...then 3+6*(1-h) = 8.9994

Open Question: the cost function for a product is C(x)= .4x^2 + 200x + 180 find average cost over [0,250]?

Wouldn't you just plug in?

C(250) - C(0) divided by 2.

Open Question: Determine the verticle and horizontal asymptotes of the graph of the given function?
Open Question: The graph of the function F(x)=-(x-5)^3 is concave upward in what interval?

Open Question: The graph of the function F(x)=-(x-5)^3 is concave upward in what interval?

F(x)=-(x-5)^3
F'(x) = -3(x-5)^2
F''(x) = (-3)(2)(x-5)
F''(x) = -6(x-5)=0

x=5 is a point of inflection

Test for concavity:
Consider the intervals (-8 ,5), (5, 8)

choose any one point from each of the intervals.
if F''(x) < 0 , F(x) is concave down on that interval
if F''(x) > 0 , F(x) is concave up on that interval

F''(x)= -6(x-5)
(-8 ,5): choose x=1; F''(1)=24 > 0, f is concave up on (-8 ,5):
(5, 8): choose x=6; F''(1)=-6 < 0, f is concave down on (5, 8):

F is concave up on (-8 ,5):

taylor-alaine by taylor-a... Member since:April 27, 2009Total points:969 (Level 2)If you have a graphing calculator, plug the equation into the y=.
Expand your window so that you can see the population (probably the y axis) untill you can see 1000. Some cushion would be helpful so make the window a little bigger.
Plug 1000 into the y= also and find where the line intersects your function.
(If you didn't know, the e is above the divide symbol on the calculator.)
I hope this helps.
