All you have to do is follow PEMDAS (if you don't know what that is, search it up).

-2-5(4n-6)=-132

Distribute the 5 to everything in the parentheses.

-2-20n+30= -132

Combine like terms.

-20n+28 = -132

Subtract 28 from both sides.

-20n = -160

Divide by -20 on both sides.

n = 8

Use order of operations rules to evaluate all terms of -2-5(4n-6)=-132, and then solve for n:

Must multiply -5(4n-6) first: -20n + 30. Then we have -2 - 20n + 30 = -132.

Adding 2 to both sides, we get -20n + 30 = -130, or -20n = -160.

Solving for n, n = 160/20 = 8 = n

The value of x and y in both equations

Vlada [557]

There is no solution to this set that works for both equations. If you multiply the top equation by 2 and then add them together, the x and y numbers will cancel. This leaves you with 0 =1010, which is never true.

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

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