4. Reason about how the numbers in the problem relate. Complete the bar diagram and write an equation to solve.
52 apples are in a basket.
39 apples are used to make cider.
How many apples are left in the basket?

step-by-step explanation:

quartic functions has x = –1 and x = –2 as its only two real zeroes:

f(x) = a(x+2)(x+1)   a: real number

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or
