8 X 5280 = 42,240 feet.

Therefore the solution is 42,240 feet

X= 2= # miles Jake ran
4x= # miles Jesse ran
5280 feet = 1 mile

STEP 1:
Find total number of miles. Jake ran 2 miles and Jesse ran 4 times his 2 miles.

=4x
=4(2)
=8 miles run by Jesse

STEP 2:
Find number of feet in 8 miles. Multiply feet by miles.

=5280 * 8
=42,240 feet run by Jesse

ANSWER: Jesse ran 42,240 feet

Hope this helps! :)

Find the x-coordinates of any relative extrema and inflection point(s) for the function f(x)= 6x^1/3 + 3x^4/3. You must justify

irina [24]

Answer:

x-coordinates of relative extrema = $\frac{-1}{2}$

x-coordinates of the inflexion points are 0, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=6x^{\frac{1}{3}}+3x^{\frac{4}{3}}$

Differentiate with respect to x

$f'(x)=6\left ( \frac{1}{3} \right )x^{\frac{-2}{3}}+3\left ( \frac{4}{3} \right )x^{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{2}{x^{\frac{2}{3}}}+4x^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$f'(x)=0\Rightarrow \frac{2}{x^{\frac{2}{3}}}+4x^{\frac{1}{3}}=0\Rightarrow x=\frac{-1}{2}$

Differentiate f'(x) with respect to x

$f''(x)=2\left ( \frac{-2}{3} \right )x^{\frac{-5}{3}}+\frac{4}{3}x^{\frac{-2}{3}}=\frac{-4x^{\frac{2}{3}}+4x^{\frac{5}{3}}}{3x^{\frac{2}{3}}x^{\frac{5}{3}}}\\f''(x)=0\Rightarrow \frac{-4x^{\frac{2}{3}}+4x^{\frac{5}{3}}}{3x^{\frac{2}{3}}x^{\frac{5}{3}}}=0\Rightarrow x=1$

At x = $\frac{-1}{2}$ ,

$f''\left ( \frac{-1}{2} \right )=\frac{4\left ( -1+4\left ( \frac{-1}{2} \right ) \right )}{3\left ( \frac{-1}{2} \right )^{\frac{5}{3}}}>0$

We know that if $f''(a)>0$ then x = a is a point of minima.

So, $x=\frac{-1}{2}$ is a point of minima.

For inflexion points:

Inflexion points are the points at which f''(x) = 0 or f''(x) is not defined.

So, x-coordinates of the inflexion points are 0, 1

The are of a shaded region is 118 ft squared. Which equation can be- used to find the value of X, in feet?

Triss [41]

Answer:

$x^2+ 18x -130=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for diagram

Required

The equation to find x

First, calculate the area of the big rectangle using:

$Area = Length * Width$

So:

$A_1 = (x + 6) * (3x - 2)$

The smaller rectangle

$A_2 = (x - 1) * (2x)$

The difference between this areas give the area of the shaded region.

So:

$A_1 - A_1 = 118$

$(x+6)*(3x-2) - (x-1)*2x = 118$

Open brackets

$3x^2 - 2x + 18x -12 -2x^2 +2x = 118$

Collect like terms

$3x^2 -2x^2- 2x +2x+ 18x -12 - 118=0$

$x^2+ 18x -130=0$

<em>The above equation can be used to solve for x</em>

Grapes cost $3.25 per pound. Darius paid a total of $26 for grapes.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:He buys 8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

You can either just add up the $3.25 until you get to the end-price, but that wont always work for every problem. The best way is to divide the 26 with the 3.25 in a written devision.

If h(x) = (f o g)(x) and h(x) = ∛7x+1, find f(x) and g(x)

Mariana [72]

There's more than one way to combine them really
but an obvious one will be

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
h(x)&=&(f\circ g)(x)\\\\
&&\sqrt[3]{7x+1}\\\\
&&\sqrt[3]{g(x)}\leftarrow 
\begin{array}{llll}
f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x }\\\\
g(x)=7x+1
\end{array}
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
(f\circ g)(x)\iff f[\quad g(x)\quad ]=\sqrt[3]{g(x)}\implies f[\quad g(x)\quad ]=\sqrt[3]{7x+1}$
