Given f(x)=x^a(7-x)^b on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 7, for maximum value, f'(x) = 0.

f'(x)=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow -bx^{a}(7-x)^{b-1}+ax^{a-1}(7-x)^b=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow ax^{a-1}(7-x)^b=bx^{a}(7-x)^{b-1} \\  \\ \Rightarrow a(7-x)=bx \\  \\ \Rightarrow (a+b)x=7a \\  \\ \Rightarrow x= \frac{7a}{a+b}

This graph has rotational symmetry about the points
mart [117]

Answer: Answer for figure one is origin (0,0)

Answer for figure two is (2,4) /

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Here we can see that given graph is the equation of cubic function which is

f(-x) = -f(x) that is given function is odd then rotational symmetry point is origin always ,therefore point of rotational symmetry is origin (0,0)

b) The rotational symmetry of  an ellipse is 180 degrees about the center  of  the ellipse .

And here the center of given ellipse is  (2,4) ,therefore its rotational  symmetry is about (2,4) That is if we rotate the given ellipse 180 degrees about (2,4) it will be at its original position.

In testing the lethal concentration of a chemical found in polluted water. it is found that a certain concentration will kill 20
sasho [114]

Answer:

a) 0.1091

b) 0.9994

c) 0.5886

Step-by-step explanation:

X = the number of fish out of 20 that die after 24 hours

x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 20

X~ Binomial (n= 20, p =0.20)

P(14 survive) = P(X = 6)

= nC_r p^r q^{n-r}= 20C_6 0.2^6\times0.8^{14}=0.1091

Similarly we can find out

P(at least 10 survive) = P( X <= 10 ) = (Using technology) = 0.9994

P(at most 16 will survive) = P(X <= 16) = (Using technology) = 0.5886
