The given function is 
f(x) =  x - ln(8x), on the interval [1/2, 2].

The derivative of f is
f'(x) = 1 - 1/x
The second derivative is 
f''(x) = 1/x²

A local maximum or minimum occurs when f'(x) = 0.
That is,
1 - 1/x = 0  => 1/x = 1  => x =1.
When x = 1, f'' = 1 (positive).
Therefore f(x) is minimum when x=1.
The minimum value is
f(1) = 1 - ln(8) = -1.079

The maximum value of f occurs either at x = 1/2 or at x = 2.
f(1/2) = 1/2 - ln(4) = -0.886
f(2)  = 2 - ln(16) = -0.773
The maximum value of f is
f(2) = 2 - ln(16) = -0.773
A graph of f(x) confirms the results.

Answer: 
Minimum value  = 1 - ln(8)
Maximum value = 2 - ln(16)

elena55 [62]

Answer:

1 over 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Given that:</em></u>

<em>a spinner and 4 cards</em>

<u><em>A Spinner ⇒ 5 equal sectors;Color: Blue,Purple,Yellow,Red,Green</em></u>

<em>Arrow point at purple </em>

<u><em>Four cards ⇒ Color : Red,Yellow,Blue,Pink</em></u>

<em>Jane spins the spinner & selects card without looking.</em>

<em>To Find - Probability spinner stops at purple & select pink card.</em>

<u><em>Solve:</em></u>

<em>Multiply 4 (the number of cards) with 5 (The number of equal sectors)</em>

<em />\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{20}          {1 × 1 = 1}    {5×4=20}
