Answer:
f'(x) > 0 on 
and f'(x)<0 on
Step-by-step explanation:
1) To find and interval where any given function is increasing, the first derivative of its function must be greater than zero:
To find its decreasing interval :
2) Then let's find the critical point of this function:
![f'(x)=\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} x}[6-2^{2x}]=\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d}x}[6]-\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}[2^{2x}]=0-[ln(2)*2^{2x}*\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}[2x]=-ln(2)*2^{2x}*2=-ln2*2^{2x+1\Rightarrow }f'(x)=-ln(2)*2^{2x}*2\\-ln(2)*2^{2x+1}=-2x^{2x}(ln(x)+1)=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%27%28x%29%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7D%20%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7D%20x%7D%5B6-2%5E%7B2x%7D%5D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7D%20%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx%7D%5B6%5D-%5Cfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7D%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx%7D%5B2%5E%7B2x%7D%5D%3D0-%5Bln%282%29%2A2%5E%7B2x%7D%2A%5Cfrac%7B%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7D%7D%7B%5Cmathrm%7Bd%7Dx%7D%5B2x%5D%3D-ln%282%29%2A2%5E%7B2x%7D%2A2%3D-ln2%2A2%5E%7B2x%2B1%5CRightarrow%20%7Df%27%28x%29%3D-ln%282%29%2A2%5E%7B2x%7D%2A2%5C%5C-ln%282%29%2A2%5E%7B2x%2B1%7D%3D-2x%5E%7B2x%7D%28ln%28x%29%2B1%29%3D0)
2.2 Solving for x this equation, this will lead us to one critical point since x' is not defined for Real set, and x''
≈0.37 for e≈2.72
3) Finally, check it out the critical point, i.e. f'(x) >0 and below f'(x)<0.
You multiply the GCF of the numerical part 3 and the GCF of the variable part x^2y to get 3x^2y
I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.
Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.
We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have
(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24
0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18
0.1 <em>x</em> = 6
<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal
