Using the given function we calculate the highest birth-rate for unmarried women is at the age of (a)27 years and the rate is (b) 45.425 .

a) The function that represents the above social situation is given by :

B(a)=-0.355a²+19.17a-213.37. where a is the age.

Now this is a quadratic function.

To find the maximum value of the function we have to find the first derivative of the function.

B(a)=-0.355a²+19.17a-213.37

or, B'(a) = -0.71a + 19.17

Now at B'(a) = 0 , we find the value of a for which the rate is maximum.

∴ -0.71a + 19.17 = 0

or, a = 19.17 / 0.71

or, a = 27 years

b) Now we will find the highest birthrate for a = 27

∴ B(27) = -0.355(27)²+19.17(27)-213.37

or,  B(27) = 45.425

Hence the highest birthrate is 45.425 per 100 unmarried women.

A function is a relationship between a single set of inputs and outputs. Simply described, a function is a relationship between inputs in which each input is coupled with exactly one output. There is a range, codomain, and domain for every function.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

A number line is a line which contains numbers marked at intervals (usually regular intervals). Points to the right of the origin are positive numbers while those to the left are negative numbers.

The school is used as the origin. Ellie house is 1 and three fifths blocks east (to the right) of the school. This means that it is + 1 and three fifths (+8/5).

Chase house is 1 and one half blocks (3/2) west of Ellie. Since it is west then it is to the left. Hence the coordinate of chase house = 8/5 - 3/2 = 1/10

Hence the coordinate of chase house is 1/10(one tenths).

The error may be as a result of thinking chase house is to the east of Ellie, hence adding to get  3 and one tenth.
