The answer is
g'(x)=<span>4x^3-10x=0 so </span><span>(4x-10)x=0 it is x= 0 and x= 5/2
</span>
<span>g(0)=4
</span>
<span>g(5/2)=x^4-5x^2+4=11.81</span>
the minimum is M(0, 4)

G ( x ) = x ^4 - 5 x² + 4
g `( x ) = 4 x³ - 10 x
4 x³ - 10 x = 2 x ( 2 x² - 5 ) = 0 ( the local minimum is where the derivative is equal to zero )
x = 0,
2 x² - 5 = 0
x² = 5/2
x = +/- √(5/2) = +/- 1.58
g ( 0 ) = 4 ( not the local minimum )
g ( √5/2 ) = g ( -√5/2 ) = ( √5/2 )^4 - 5 (√5/2 )² + 4 =
= 2.5 ² - 5 · 2.5 + 4 = 6.25 - 12.5 + 4 = - 2.25
Answer:
The local minimum is : M ( - 1.58 , - 2.25 ) and N ( 1.58, - 2.25 ).

Alex

Answer:

0.0111% probability that he answers at least 10 questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two outcomes. Either it is answered correctly, or it is not. The probability of a question being answered correctly is independent from other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

A multiple-choice examination has 15 questions, each with five answers, only one of which is correct.

This means that $n = 15, p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2$

What is the probability that he answers at least 10 questions correctly?

$P(X \geq 10) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 10) = C_{15,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0001$

$P(X = 11) = C_{15,11}.(0.2)^{11}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.000011$

$P(X = 12) = C_{15,12}.(0.2)^{12}.(0.8)^{3} \cong 0$

$P(X = 13) = C_{15,13}.(0.2)^{13}.(0.8)^{2} \cong 0$

$P(X = 14) = C_{15,14}.(0.2)^{14}.(0.8)^{1} \cong 0$

$P(X = 15) = C_{15,15}.(0.2)^{15}.(0.8)^{0} \cong 0$

$P(X \geq 10) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) = 0.0001 + 0.000011 = 0.000111$

0.0111% probability that he answers at least 10 questions correctly

Mauricio scored a total of 34.42 points in five gymnastic

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Mauricio's score for each event is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mauricio scored a total of 34.42 points in five gymnastic events.

We can round off his score as 35.

To find Mauricio's score for each event, divide total score and no of events as follows :

$n=\dfrac{35}{5}\\\\=7$

Hence, Mauricio's score for each event is 7.
