- Describing Function Behavior In Exercises 33-40, determine the open intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant. fx=x33x2+2arrow_forwardUse calculus to show that the function, f(x) = x³ + 3x – 6, has exactly three zeros (where f(x) = 0) and that one zero is in (1, 2). i) Sketch the graph of f(x). Determine whether f(x) is ii) even or odd or neither; iii) decreasing or increasing or neither.arrow_forwardConsider the graphs of f(x ) and g (x ). For each function resulting from the operation, decide whether the resulting function is even, odd, or neither even nor odd. a)f(x )+ g(x) b)f(x )- g(x) c)f(x ) x g(x) d) f(x) / g(x)arrow_forward
- f[x0, x₁] = f[x0, x1, x₂] = f[x] - f[xo] X1 Xo f[x1, x2]- f[x0, x₁] X2 - Xoarrow_forwardDetermine whether the statement is true or false. If it is true, explain why. If it is false, explain why or give an example that disproves the statement. (a) The set of rational numbers Q can be embedded in every ordered integral domain. (b) A finite integral domain cannot be ordered. (c) The relation defined by (k, 1) ~ (m, n), V(k, 1), (m, n) € D × D# in an integral domain D is reflexive for the following reason: (k, 1)~ (k, l) → k·l=l-k⇒l·k = k·l⇒ (l, k) ~ (l, k). (d) The unity e € D is the least positive element of every ordered integral domain D. (e) The field of rational numbers contains a subfield isomorphic to .arrow_forwardUse the vertical line test to determine whether y is a function of x. x < 0 [x-1, 1-x + 4, x 20 y = 4 a N Yes, y is a function of x. No, y is not a function of x. It cannot be determined whether y is a function of x.arrow_forward
- Give an example of an R²-valued function F with D(F) equal to an interval (a, b) and having the following properties: limb F(x) does not exist; limb || F(x)|| does exist. Is such an example possible in the R¹-setting?arrow_forwardLet f (x) = 2x3 - 3x2 - 36x + 14. Also, let a = 0 and b = 1. (a) Show that the function f is continuous for all values of x in the interval [a,b]. (b) Prove that f must have at least one zero in the interval (a,b) by showing that f (a) and f (b) have opposite signs.arrow_forwarda) Discuss the continuity of the function (- 2x? + 1 x > 2 f(x) = 1-4x x < 2 at the point x = 2 b) Discuss the continuity of the function -3x2 + 1 x 21 f(x) 1 - 3x x < 1 at the point x = 1 c) Discuss the continuity of the function 3x – x2 x2 1 f(x) = 7- 5х x<1 at the point x = 1arrow_forward
- A box is to be made out of a 6 cm by 16 cm piece of cardboard. Squares of side length x cm will be cut out of each corner, and then the ends and sides will be folded up to form a box with an open top. (a) Draw a labeled sketch. (b) Express the volume V of the box as a function of x. V(x) = (c) Give the domain of V in interval notation. Domain= L (d) Find the length L, width W, and height x of the resulting box that maximizes the volume. (Assume that W ≤ L. That is, assume that the width W of the box is the side formed from the shorter side of cardboard, and the length L of the box is the side formed from the longer side.) - = W = X = cm Maximum volume = (e) Find the maximum volume of the box. cm cm cm³ cm³.arrow_forwardUsing the function f: (-1,2] → R, ƒ (x) = 4x³ – 3x² – 6x + 2, a.
