If a sequence c1,c2,c3,...has limit K then the sequence ec1,ec2,ec3,...has limit e^K. Use this fact together with l'Hopital's rule to compute the limit of the sequence given by
bn=(n)^(5.6/n).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If a sequence c1,c2,c3,...has limit K then the sequence ec1,ec2,ec3,...has limit e^K. Use this fact together with l'Hopital's rule to compute the limit of the sequence given by
bn=(n)^(5.6/n).
a)
[tex]L = \lim_{n \to \infty} b_n \\\\\\L= \lim_{n \to \infty} n^{\frac{5.6}{n} }[/tex]
Log on both sides
[tex]In (L) = \lim_{n \to \infty} In (n)^{\frac{5.6}{n} }\\\\= \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{5.6}{n} In(n)[/tex]
[tex]=5.6 \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{d}{dn} In(n)/\frac{d}{dn} (n)\\\\=5.6 \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} /1 \\\\=5.6 \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} \\\\=5.6 \times 0\\\\In(L) =0\\\\L=e^0\\\\L=1[/tex]

An investigative bureau uses a laboratory method to match the lead in a bullet found at a crime scene with unexpended lead cartridges found in the possession of a suspect. The value of this evidence depends on the chance of a false positive positive that is the probability that the bureau finds a match given that the lead at the crime scene and the lead in the possession of the suspect are actually from two differant melts or sources. To estimate the false positive rate the bureau collected 1851 bullets that the agency was confident all came from differant melts. The using its established ctireria the bureau examined every possible pair of bullets and found 658 matches. Use this info to to compute the chance of a false positive.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that, we have 1851 bullets that we KNOW are NOT MATCHES of one another. One by one they examine two bullets at a time.
So, there are 1851 bullets but each time we choose 2.
We have, N choose K = N! / K! (N-k)!
Here, N = 1851 and K = 2
Therefore, 1851 choose 2 = 1851! / 2! (1851-2)!
= 1851! / 2! * 1849!
= 1712175 Possible Combinations
Out of these 653 are false positive.
The chance of getting false positive is = 658 / 1712175
= 0.000384
= 0.0384 %
Therefore, The correct option is
The chance of false positive is 0.0384% Because this probability is sufficiently small (< or = 1%) There is high confidence in the agency's forensic evidence.

Answer:
[tex] P(A) = 0.21[/tex]
We want to find the probability that a randomly selected freshman from this college does not take an introductory statistics class, so then we can use the complement rule given by:
[tex] P(A') = 1-P(A)[/tex]
Where A is the event of interest (a freshman at a certain college takes an introductory statistics class) and A' the complement (a freshman at a certain college NOT takes an introductory statistics class) and then replacing we got:
[tex] P(A')=1-0.21= 0.79[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem we know that the probability that a freshman at a certain college takes an introductory statistics class is 0.21, let's define of interest as A and we can set the probability like this:

A fair die is rolled twice, with outcomes X for the first roll and Y for the second roll. Find the moment generating function MX`Y ptq of X ` Y . Note that your answer should be a function of t and can contain unsimplified finite sums.
Answer:
[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{e^{2t}}{36} + \dfrac{e^{3t}}{18} + \dfrac{e^{4t}}{12} +\dfrac{e^{5t}}{9} + \dfrac{5e^{6t}}{36} + \dfrac{7e^{7t}}{6} + \dfrac{5e^{8t}}{36} + \dfrac{e^{9t}}{9} + \dfrac{e^{10t}}{12} + \dfrac{e^{11t}}{18} + \dfrac{e^{12t}}{36} }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The objective is to find the moment generating function of [tex]M_{X+Y}(t) \ of \ X+Y[/tex].
We are being informed that the fair die is rolled twice;
So; X to be the value for the first roll
Y to be the value of the second roll
The outcomes of X are: X = {1,2,3,4,5,6}
Where ;
[tex]P (X=x) = \dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
The outcomes of Y are: y = {1,2,3,4,5,6}
Where ;
[tex]P (Y=y) = \dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
The outcome of Z = X+Y
[tex]= \left[\begin{array}{cccccc}(1,1)&(1,2)&(1,3)&(1,4)&(1,5)&(1,6)\\ (2,1)&(2,2)&(2,3)&(2,4)&(2,5)&(2,6)\\ (3,1)&(3,2)&(3,3)&(3,4)&(3,5)&(3,6) \\ (4,1)&(4,2)&(4,3)&(4,4)&(4,5)&(4,6) \\ (5,1)&(5,2)&(5,3)&(5,4)&(5,5)&(5,6) \\ (6,1)&(6,2)&(6,3)&(6,4)&(6,5)&(6,6) \end{array}\right][/tex]
= [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
Here;
[tex]P (Z=z) = \dfrac{1}{36}[/tex]
∴ the moment generating function [tex]M_{X+Y}(t) \ of \ X+Y[/tex]is as follows:

Some shrubs have the useful ability to resprout from their roots after their tops are destroyed. Fire is a particular threat to shrubs in dry climates, as it can injure the roots as well as destroy the aboveground material. One study of resprouting took place in a dry area of Mexico. The investigation clipped the tops of samples of several species of shrubs. In some cases, they also applied a propane torch to the stumps to simulate a fire. Of 18 specimens of a particular species, 5 resprouted after fire. Estimate with 99.5% confidence the proportion of all shrubs of this species that will resprout after fire.
Answer:
The 99.5% confidence interval for the proportion of all shrubs of this species that will resprout after fire is (0, 0.5745).
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
For this problem, we have that:
[tex]n = 18, \pi = \frac{5}{18} = 0.2778[/tex]
99.5% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.005[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.005}{2} = 0.9975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.81[/tex].
The lower limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2778 - 2.81\sqrt{\frac{0.2778*0.7222}{18}} = -0.01 = 0[/tex]
We cannot have a negative proportion, so we use 0.
The upper limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2778 + 2.81\sqrt{\frac{0.2778*0.7222}{18}} = 0.5745[/tex]
The 99.5% confidence interval for the proportion of all shrubs of this species that will resprout after fire is (0, 0.5745).
Which is the equation of a line that has a slope of 1 and passes through point (5, 3)?
y = -2
y = x + 2
y = x + 3
y=x-5
Answer:
y = x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x + b
3 = 5 + b
y = x - 2
We can use the slope intercept form of a line.
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = 1x +b
Substitute the point into the equation
3 = 1*5+b
3 = 5+b
Subtract 5 from each side
3-5 = 5+b-5
-2 =b
y = x-2

F(x) results in a parabola with vertex (0,0) wich mean there is only one x-int at that point. g(x) has been shifted the grapgh of f(x) to the right by to units and down by three unites. Now our vertex lies in the point (2,-3) and since the graph was move dow i=of the x-axis we now have two different x-intercepts.
According to a survey of business executives, 78% received a pay raise when they asked for one. A random sample of four executives was selected. The probability that all four received a raised when they asked for one is ________. 0.056 0.127 0.237 0.370
Answer:
The probability that all four received a raised when they asked for one is 0.370.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable X represent the number of business executives who received a pay raise when they asked for one.
The probability that a business executives received a pay raise when they asked for one is, p = 0.78.
A random sample of n = 4 executives was selected.
The events of any executive receiving a pay raise when they asked for one is independent of the others.
The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 4 and p = 0.78.
The probability mass function of X is:
[tex]P(X=x)={4\choose x}\ (0.78)^{x}\ (1-0.78)^{4-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...[/tex]
Compute the probability that all four received a raised when they asked for one as follows:
[tex]P(X=4)={4\choose 4}\ (0.78)^{4}\ (1-0.78)^{4-4}[/tex]
[tex]=1\times 0.37015056\times 1\\\\=0.37015056\\\\\apporx 0.370[/tex]
Thus, the probability that all four received a raised when they asked for one is 0.370.

D) corresponding angles theorem, angle addition theorem
Answer:
d: please note I am not sure about this but look at my reasoning and maybe you can find your own answer that you are sure about.
D: i am sure about this.
Step-by-step explanation:
From what I looked up, i believe what you are talking about is deductive reasoning, which is based off of facts. It can't be a or b because that wasn't defined in the statement. Squares and rectangles are not the same thing since you can have a square that is a rectangle, but a rectangle that is not a square, so D is correct.
corresponding angles i believe since they are matching
I know that the 2 lines are parallel because 5 and 6 are alternate interior angles since they are on opposite sides.
4 and 6 are not vertical or right angles, so it must be d, also they follow what a corresponding angle is, which is them being matching.
Answer:
13. B
14. D
Step-by-step explanation:
13. Law of Detachment says that if two statements are true then we can derive a third true statement. So, for example, say the first statement is that you are a human. Say the second statement is that you breathe. You can write this as: if you are a human, you breathe. In this case, if you have a square, then you have a rectangle. You have a quadrilateral.
14. 4 and 6 are corresponding angles, since you can tell that there are two parallel lines from angle 5 = angle 6. You can also use angle addition theorem.

------------- = -----------
40 muffins x muffins
Using cross products
6x = 40*15

In a study of the relationship of the shape of a tablet to its dissolution time, 6 disk-shaped ibuprofen tablets and 8 oval-shaped ibuprofen tablets were dissolved in water. The dissolve times, in seconds, were as follows:
Disk: 269.0, 249.3, 255.2, 252.7, 247.0, 261.6
Oval: 268.8, 260.0, 273.5, 253.9, 278.5, 289.4, 261.6, 280.2 Can you conclude that the mean dissolve times differ between the two shapes? Conduct a hypothesis test at the
α = 5% level.
a. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
b. Compute the test statistic.
c. Compute the P-value.
d. State the conclusion of the test in the context of this setting.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a test of 2 independent groups. Let μ1 be the mean dissolution time for disk-shaped ibuprofen tablets and μ2 be the mean dissolution time for oval-shaped ibuprofen tablets.
The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean dissolution time for disk-shaped ibuprofen tablets and the mean dissolution time for oval-shaped ibuprofen tablets.
We would set up the hypothesis.
a) The null hypothesis is
H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0
The alternative hypothesis is
H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0
This is a two tailed test.
For disk shaped,
Mean, x1 = (269.0 + 249.3 + 255.2 + 252.7 + 247.0 + 261.6)/6 = 255.8
Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n
n1 = 6
Summation(x - mean)² = (269 - 255.8)^2 + (249.3 - 255.8)^2 + (255.2 - 255.8)^2+ (252.7 - 255.8)^2 + (247 - 255.8)^2 + (261.6 - 255.8)^2 = 337.54
Standard deviation, s1 = √(337.54/6) = 7.5
For oval shaped,
Mean, x2 = (268.8 + 260 + 273.5 + 253.9 + 278.5 + 289.4 + 261.6 + 280.2)/8 = 270.7375
n2 = 8
Summation(x - mean)² = (268.8 - 270.7375)^2 + (260 - 270.7375)^2 + (273.5 - 270.7375)^2+ (253.9 - 270.7375)^2 + (278.5 - 270.7375)^2 + (289.4 - 270.7375)^2 + (261.6 - 270.7375)^2 + (280.2 - 270.7375)^2 = 991.75875
Standard deviation, s2 = √(991.75875/8) = 11.1
b) Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is
(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)
Therefore,
t = (255.8 - 270.7375)/√(7.5²/6 + 11.1²/8)
t = - 3
c) The formula for determining the degree of freedom is
df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²
df = [7.5²/6 + 11.1²/8]²/[(1/6 - 1)(7.5²/6)² + (1/8 - 1)(11.1²/8)²] = 613.86/51.46
df = 12
We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes
p value = 0.011
d) Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.011, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, we can conclude that at 5% significance level, the mean dissolve times differ between the two shapes

c) What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean?
d) Discuss the degree of skewness found in the sample data. What suggestion would you make for a repeat of this study?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Be the variable of interest:
X: Number of weeks it takes a worker aged 55 plus to find a job
Sample average X[bar]= 22 weeks
Sample standard deviation S= 11.89 weeks
Sample size n= 40
a)
The point estimate of the population mean is the sample mean
X[bar]= 22 weeks
It takes on average 22 weeks for a worker aged 55 plus to find a job.
b)
To estimate the population mean using a confidence interval, assuming the variable has a normal distribution is
X[bar] ± [tex]t_{n_1; 1-\alpha /2}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
[tex]t_{n-1; 1-\alpha /2}= t_{39; 0.975}= 2.023[/tex]
The structure of the interval is "point estimate" ± "margin of error"
d= [tex]t_{n_1; 1-\alpha /2}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]= 2.023*[tex](\frac{11.89}{\sqrt{40} })[/tex]= 3.803
c)
The interval can be calculated as:
[22 ± 3.803]
[18.197; 25.803]
Using s 95% confidence level, you'd expect the population mean of the time it takes a worker 55 plus to find a job will be within the interval [18.197; 25.803] weeks.
d)

To study the form of the distribution I've used the raw data to create a histogram of the distribution. See attachment.
As you can see in the histogram the distribution grows gradually and then it falls abruptly. The distribution is right skewed.
A contractor developed a multiplicative time-series model to forecast the number of contracts in future quarters, using quarterly data on number of contracts during the 3-year period from 2010 to 2012. The following is the resulting regression equation: ln = 3.37 + 0.117 X - 0.083 Q1 + 1.28 Q2 + 0.617 Q3 where is the estimated number of contracts in a quarter X is the coded quarterly value with X = 0 in the first quarter of 2010 Q1 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the first quarter of a year and 0 otherwise Q2 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the second quarter of a year and 0 otherwise Q3 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the third quarter of a year and 0 otherwise Using the regression equation, which of the following values is the best forecast for the number of contracts in the third quarter of 2013?A. The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 100% (? = 0.05).
B. The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is not significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05).
C. The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05).
D. The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is not significantly different from 100% (? = 0.05).
There is a missing content in the question.
After the statements and before the the options given; there is an omitted content which says:
Referring to Table 16-5, in testing the coefficient of X in the regression equation (0.117) the results were a t-statistic of 9.08 and an associated p-value of 0.0000. Which of the following is the best interpretation of this result?
Answer:
C. The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05).
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given question:
The resulting regression equation can be represented as:
[tex]\hat Y = 3.37 + 0.117 X - 0.083 Q_1 + 1.28 Q_2 + 0.617Q_3[/tex]
where;
the estimated number of contracts in a quarter X is the coded quarterly value with X = 0
the first quarter of 2010 Q1 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the first quarter of a year and 0 otherwise
Q2 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the second quarter of a year and 0 otherwise
Q3 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the third quarter of a year and 0 otherwise
Our null and alternative hypothesis can be stated as;
Null hypothesis :
[tex]H_0 :[/tex] The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is not significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)
[tex]H_a:[/tex] The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)
The decision rule is to reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is less than 0.05.
From the missing omitted part we added above; we can see that the t-statistics value = 9.08 and the p-value = 0.000 .
Conclusion:
Thus; we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis. i.e
The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)

From a standard 52-card deck, how many 5-card hands consist entirely of black cards?
Answer:
so halve the deck is black and halve the deck is red so you have 26 black cards then divide by 5 and you get 5 with 1 card leftover
A bottle maker believes that 14% of his bottles are defective. If the bottle maker is accurate, what is the probability that the proportion of defective bottles in a sample of 622 bottles would be less than 11%
Answer:
[tex] z = \frac{0.11-0.14}{0.0139} = -2.156[/tex]
And we can use the normal standard distribution table and we got:
[tex] P(Z<-2.156) =0.0155[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we know the following info given:
[tex] p =0.14[/tex] represent the population proportion
[tex] n = 622[/tex] represent the sample size selected
We want to find the following proportion:
[tex] P(\hat p <0.11)[/tex]
For this case we can use the normal approximation since we have the following conditions:
i) np = 622*0.14 = 87.08>10
ii) n(1-p) = 622*(1-0.14) =534.92>10
The distribution for the sample proportion would be given by:
[tex] \hat p \sim N (p ,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}) [/tex]
The mean is given by:
[tex] \mu_{\hat p}= 0.14[/tex]
And the deviation:
[tex]\sigma_{\hat p}= \sqrt{\frac{0.14*(1-0.14)}{622}}= 0.0139[/tex]
We can use the z score formula given by:
[tex] z=\frac{\hat p -\mu_{\hat p}}{\sigma_{\hat p}}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] z = \frac{0.11-0.14}{0.0139} = -2.156[/tex]
And we can use the normal standard distribution table and we got:
[tex] P(Z<-2.156) =0.0155[/tex]
After a long study, tree scientists conclude that a eucalyptus tree will grow at the rate of 0.5 6/ (t+4)3 feet per year, where t is the time (in years)
(a) Find the number of feet that the tree will grow in the second year.
(b) Find the number of feet the tree will grow in the third year.
(c) The total number of feet grown during the second year is_____________ ft.
Answer:
a) 0.5367feetb) 0.5223feetc) 0.7292feetStep-by-step explanation:
Given the rate at which an eucalyptus tree will grow modelled by the equation 0.5+6/(t+4)³ feet per year, where t is the time (in years).
The amount of growth can be gotten by integrating the given rate equation as shown;
[tex]\int\limits {0.5 + \frac{6}{(t+4)^{3} } } \, dt \\= \int\limits {0.5} \, dt + \int\limits\frac{6}{(t+4)^{3} } } \, dx } \, \\= 0.5t +\int\limits {6u^{-3} } \, du \ where \ u = t+4 \ and\ du = dt\\= 0.5t + 6*\frac{u^{-2} }{-2} + C\\= 0.5t-3u^{-2} +C\\= 0.5t-3(t+4)^{-2} + C[/tex]
a) The number of feet that the tree will grow in the second year can be gotten by taking the limit of the integral from t =1 to t = 2
[tex]\int\limits^2_1 {0.5 + \frac{6}{(t+4)^{3} } } \, dt = [0.5t-3(t+4)^{-2}]^2_1\\= [0.5(2)-3(2+4)^{-2}] - [0.5(1)-3(1+4)^{-2}]\\= [1-3(6)^{-2}] - [0.5-3(5)^{-2}]\\ = [1-\frac{1}{12}] - [0.5-\frac{3}{25} ]\\= \frac{11}{12}-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{25}\\ = 0.9167 - 0.5 + 0.12\\= 0.5367feet[/tex]
b) The number of feet that the tree will grow in the third year can be gotten by taking the limit of the integral from t =2 to t = 3
[tex]\int\limits^3_2 {0.5 + \frac{6}{(t+4)^{3} } } \, dt = [0.5t-3(t+4)^{-2}]^3_2\\= [0.5(3)-3(3+4)^{-2}] - [0.5(2)-3(2+4)^{-2}]\\= [1.5-3(7)^{-2}] - [1-3(6)^{-2}]\\ = [1.5-\frac{3}{49}] - [1-\frac{1}{12} ]\\ = 1.439 - 0.9167\\= 0.5223feet[/tex]
c) The total number of feet grown during the second year can be gotten by substituting the value of limit from t = 0 to t = 2 into the equation as shown
[tex]\int\limits^2_0 {0.5 + \frac{6}{(t+4)^{3} } } \, dt = [0.5t-3(t+4)^{-2}]^2_0\\= [0.5(2)-3(2+4)^{-2}] - [0.5(0)-3(0+4)^{-2}]\\= [1-3(6)^{-2}] - [0-3(4)^{-2}]\\ = [1-\frac{1}{12}] - [-\frac{3}{16} ]\\= \frac{11}{12}+\frac{3}{16}\\ = 0.9167 - 0.1875\\= 0.7292feet[/tex]
f(x)=x^3-3x^2-9x+4 find the intervals on which f is increasing or decreasing b. find the local maximum and minimum values of f. c. find the intervals of concavity and inflection points
Answer:
Please read the complete answer below!
Step-by-step explanation:
You have the following function:
[tex]f(x)=x^3-3x^2-9x+4[/tex] (1)
a) To find the interval on which f is increasing or decreasing, you first calculate the critical points of f(x).
You calculate the derivative f(x) respect to x:
[tex]\frac{df}{dx}=3x^2-6x-9[/tex] (2)
Next, you equal the derivative to zero, and then you find the roots of the polynomial by using the quadratic formula:
[tex]3x^2-6x-9=0\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(3)(-9)}}{2(3)}\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{6\pm12}{6}\\\\x_1=-1\\\\x_2=3[/tex]
Then, the critical points are x=-1 and x=3
Next, you calculate df/dx for a values of x to the left and to the right of the critical points x1 and x2. If df/dx < 0 the function is decreasing, if df/dx > 0 the function is increasing.
for x = -1.01
[tex]\frac{df(-1.01)}{dx}=3(-1.01)^2-6(-1.01)-9=0.12[/tex]
Then, in the interval (-∞,-1), the function is increasing
for x = -0.99
[tex]\frac{df(-0.99)}{dx}=3(-0.99)^2-6(-0.99)-9=-0.11[/tex]
In the interval (-1,3) the function is decreasing
for x = 3.01
[tex]\frac{df(3.01)}{dx}=3(3.01)^2-6(3.01)-9=0.12[/tex]
In the interval (3,+∞) the function is increasing
b) To find the local minimum and maximum you use the second derivative of the function:
[tex]\frac{d^2f}{dx^2}=6x-6[/tex] (3)
you evaluate the second derivative for the critical points x1 and x2, if the second derivative is positive, you have a local minimum. If the second derivative is negative, you have a local maximum:
for x1 = -1
[tex]6(-1)-6=-12<0[/tex]
x=-1 is a local maximum
for x2 = 3
[tex]6(3)-6=12>0[/tex]
x=3 is a local minimum
c) upward concavity: (-1,3)
downward concavity: (-∞,-1)U(3,+∞)
The inflection points are calculated with the second derivative equal to zero:
[tex]6x-6=0\\\\x=1[/tex]
For x = 1 you have an inflection point
