Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the question translates to asking how many times does 7/8 fit in 21, so 21 divided by 7/8.

when we divide by a fraction, we can multiply by it's inverse, so 21 divided by 7/8, is 21 multiplied by 8/7. so:

21×8/7 = (21×8)/7 = (21/7)×8 = 3×8 = 24

Complete parts a through c for the given function.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

a. The critcal points are at

$x=0,-5,3$

b. Then, $x = -5$ is a maximum and $x=3$ is a minimum

c. The absolute minimum is at $x = 3$ and the absolute maximum is at $x = -5.$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Remember that you need to find the points where

$f'(x)=0$

Therefore you have to solve this equation.

$20x^4 + 40x^3 - 300x^2 = 0$

From that equation you can factor out $20x^2$ and you would get

$20x^2 ( x^2 +2x - 15) = 0$

And from that you would have $20x^2 = 0$ , so $x = 0$ .

And you would also have $x^2 +2x-15 = 0$ .

You can factor that equation as $x^2 +2x -15 = (x+5)(x-3) = 0$

Therefore $x=-5 , x=3$ .

So the critcal points are at

$x=0,-5,3$

Remember that a function has a maximum at a critical point if the second derivative at that point is negative. Since

$f''(x) = 80x^3 + 120x^2 -600x\\f''(-5) = 80(-5)^3 + 120(-5)^2 -600(-5) = -4000 < 0\\\\f''(3) = 80(3)^3 + 120(3)^2 -600(3) = 1440 > 0 \\$

Then, $x = -5$ is a maximum and $x=3$ is a minimum

The absolute minimum is at $x = 3$ and the absolute maximum is at $x = -5.$

The larger of two numbers is 1 more than twice the

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let the smaller number be x and the larger number be 2x+1.

According to the question,

The sum of the numbers is 20 less than three

times the larger.

i.e x + (2x+1)= 3*(2x+1) - 20

or, x + 2x +1 = 6x + 3 -20

or, 3x + 1 = 6x - 17

or, 3x = 18

or x= 18/3

x = 6

And 2x+1 = 2*6+1 = 13.

Therefore the smaller number is 6 and larger number is 13.

Hope it helps!

6=4y+2 what is the answer

blagie [28]

Answer: 1 = y
All you have to do is carry the 2 over and subtract it from 6 so then you just have 4=4y which will turn into 1=y
