Answer:

The absolute maximum of f(x) on [-3, 4] is 138 and the absolute minimum of f(x) on [-3, 4] is -237.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the absolute extrema values of f(x) = 6x^3 - 9x^2 - 108x + 6  on the closed interval [−3, 4] you must:

1. Locate all critical values. We need to find the derivative of the function and set it equal to zero.

\frac{d}{dx}f(x)= \frac{d}{dx}\left(6x^3-9x^2-108x+6\right)=\\\\f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(6x^3\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(9x^2\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(108x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(6\right)\\\\f'(x)=18x^2-18x-108

18x^2-18x-108=0\\18\left(x^2-x-6\right)=0\\18\left(x+2\right)\left(x-3\right)=0\\\\\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:quadratic\:equation\:are:}\\x=-2,\:x=3

2. Evaluate f(x) at all the critical values and also at the two values -3 and 4

\left\begin{array}{cc}x&f(x)\\-3&87\\-2&138\\3&-237\\4&-186\end{array}\right

3. The absolute maximum of f(x) on [-3, 4] will be the largest number found in Step 2, while the absolute minimum of f(x) on [-3, 4] will be the smallest number found in Step 2.

Therefore,

The absolute maximum of f(x) on [-3, 4] is 138 and the absolute minimum of f(x) on [-3, 4] is -237.

It is convenient to use a graphing calculator for this. The graph shows the maximum and minimum are not at the ends of the interval, so could be found by differentiating the function and setting that derivative to zero. The function would then need to be evaluated for those solutions {-2, 3}.

The absolute minimum on the interval is -237 at x=3.
The absolute maximum on the interval is 138 at x=-2.

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the
kenny6666 [7]

Given:

The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the given equation

y=-29x^2+1388x-10040

To find:

The maximum amount of profit the company can make, to the nearest dollar.

Solution:

If a quadratic equation is f(x)=ax^2+bx+c, then the vertex is

Vertex=\left(-\dfrac{b}{2a},f(-\dfrac{b}{2a})\right)

If a>0, then vertex is the minimum point and if a<0, then the vertex is the maximum point.

We have,

y=-29x^2+1388x-10040

Here, a=-29,b=1388, c=-10040. Clearly, a<0. So, the vertex is the point of maxima.

-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{1388}{2(-29)}

-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{1388}{-58}

-\dfrac{b}{2a}\approx 23.931

Putting x=23.931 in the given equation, we get

y=-29(23.931)^2+1388(23.931)-10040

y=-16608.09+33216.228-10040

y=6568.138

The vertex is at (23.931,6568.138).

Therefore, the maximum profit is $6568.138 when x=23.931.

Part B.<br> What is the volume of each cubic block?
monitta

Answer:

1 / 36 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 1/2 ft

Width = 1/6 ft

Height = 1/3 ft

The volume of the tank can be obtained using the relation :

Volume = Length * width * height

Volume = (1/2 * 1/6 * 1/3) ft³

Volume = 1 / 36 ft³
