Provide an appropriate response.Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to prove that x(x - 6)2 = 6 has a solution between 5 and 7.

What will be an ideal response?


Let f(x) = x(x - 6)2 and let y0 = 6.   and  Since f is continuous on  and since  is between  and  by the Intermediate Value Theorem, there exists a c in the interval  with the property that  Such a c is a solution to the equation

Solve.A comet has an orbit that is hyperbolic in shape with Mars as the focus of the hyperbola. The comet heads towards Mars, comes within 310 million miles of Mars, but then veers off as shown in the picture. As it travels into the distance, it moves closer and closer to the line y = 4x. Find the equation that describes the path of the comet. 

A. The equation is  -  = 1, where x and y are measured in millions of miles.
B. The equation is  -  = 1, where x and y are measured in millions of miles.
