Example 1: Does the curve y = 2x3 – 2 crosses the x-axis between x = 0 and x = 2? Solution: Solving for the given values of x‚ at x = 0‚ then y = 2(0)3 – 2 = -2‚ the curve is below the x-axis at x = 2‚ y = 2(2)3 – 2 = 16 – 2 = 14‚ the curve is above the x-axis‚ So the curve crosses the x-axis between x = 0 and x = 2 since y = 2x3 – 2 has a solution found between this interval. Example 2: From the curve y = x5 - 2x3 – 2‚ is there a solution between x = 1 and x = 2? Solution: Using the given

Solutions to Graded Problems Math 200 Section 1.6 Homework 2 September 17‚ 2010 20. In the theory of relativity‚ the mass of a particle with speed v is m = f (v) = m0 1 − v 2 /c2 where m0 is the rest mass of the particle and c is the speed of light in a vacuum. Find the inverse function of f and explain its meaning. Solution. We simply solve for v: m= m0 1− v 2 /c2 =⇒ m 1 − v 2 /c2 = m0 =⇒ m2 1 − v2 c2 = m2 0 m2 v2 =⇒ 1 − 2 = 0 c m2 =⇒ v2 m2 =1− 0 c2 m2 m0 m m0 m 2 =⇒

The construction of a fundamental understanding of numeration and place value concepts forms the foundation for all additional branches of mathematics (Booker‚ et al.‚ 2010). Computational processes and patterns of thinking require a clear understanding of these concepts‚ as they underpin the learning and use of mathematics (Booker et al.‚ 2010). Developing mathematical thinking from an early age is extremely important in establishing students understanding of number concepts. Clements (2001‚ p271)

Verify that f (x) = x3 − x2 − 6x + 2 satisfies the hypotheses of Rolle’s theorem for the interval [0‚ 3]‚ then find all c that satisfy the conclusion. www.xkcd.com 2. Let f (x) = tan(x). Show that f (0) = f (π)‚ but there is no number c in (0‚ π) such that f (c) = 0. Is this a counterexample to Rolle’s theorem? Why or why not? 3.

Explain the importance of teaching Math and Science in early education.Use theory or theorist applicable. The importance in teaching mathematics and science is of great concern to all levels of education especially in early education. Because early experiences affect later educational outcomes‚ providing young children with research-based mathematics and science learning opportunities is more likely to pay off with increased achievement‚ literacy‚ and work skills in these critical areas
