Finn bought a yoyo from a company that claims that, with each retraction, the string rolls up by 80% of the original length. He

sets up a tape measure and throws the yoyo 3 times. His data are charted below.
Throw Length of string (feet)
1 3
2 2.4
3 1.92
Finn wants to find the sum of the length of string after 10 throws. What is the sum of the lengths, rounded to the nearest hundredth?

13.39 rounded to 13.40 is the sum of the length of string after 10 throws.

Find the local maximum and minimum values and saddle point(s) of the function. If you have three-dimensional graphing software,
vichka [17]

Answer:

A(-1,0) is a local maximum point.

B(-1,0)  is a saddle point

C(3,0)  is a saddle point

D(3,2) is a local minimum point.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is  

f(x,y)=x^3+y^3-3x^2-3y^2-9x

The first partial derivative with respect to x is  

f_x=3x^2-6x-9

The first partial derivative with respect to y is  

f_y=3y^2-6y

We now set each equation to zero to obtain the system of equations;

3x^2-6x-9=0

3y^2-6y=0

Solving the two equations simultaneously, gives;

x=-1,x=3  and y=0,y=2

The critical points are

A(-1,0), B(-1,2),C(3,0),and D(3,2).

Now, we need to calculate the discriminant,

D=f_{xx}(x,y)f_{yy}(x,y)-(f_{xy}(x,y))^2

But, we would have to calculate the second partial derivatives first.

f_{xx}=6x-6

f_{yy}=6y-6

f_{xy}=0

\Rightarrow D=(6x-6)(6y-6)-0^2

\Rightarrow D=(6x-6)(6y-6)

At A(-1,0),

D=(6(-1)-6)(6(0)-6)=72\:>\:0 and f_{xx}=6(-1)-6=-18\:

Hence A(-1,0) is a local maximum point.

See graph

At B(-1,2);

D=(6(-1)-6)(6(2)-6)=-72\:

Hence, B(-1,0) is neither a local maximum or a local minimum point.

This is a saddle point.

At C(3,0)

D=(6(3)-6)(6(0)-6)=-72\:

Hence, C(3,0) is neither a local minimum or maximum point. It is a saddle point.

At D(3,2),

D=(6(3)-6)(6(2)-6)=72\:>\:0 and f_{xx}=6(3)-6=12\:>\:0

Hence D(3,2) is a local minimum point.

See graph in attachment.

Solve for the width in the formula for the area of a triangle
zmey [24]

Answer: \frac{2A}{h} = w

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a triangle is A = wh\frac{1}{2}

Now we have to isolate for w.

First multiply by the 2 which is the reciprocal of 1/2 to cancel it out.

2A = wh\\

Now divide by h to isolate w.

\frac{2A}{h} = w
