You can go through the effort of determining the zero of the function analytically and evaluating an analytic expression for the derivative at that point, or you can let a graphing calculator do that heavy lifting. Since the numbers have to be "nice" for your equation to have the desired form, it is easy to know what to round to in the event that is necessary (it isn't).
We find the positive zero-crossing at x=2, and the slope of the curve at that point to be 8. Thus the line will have slope -1/8 and can be written as
.. x +8y -2 = 0
Answer:
32 goldfish
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Number of fish tanks = 8
- Volume of water per fish tank = 5,544 in³
- Water required by 1 goldfish = min 1,386 in³
Number of fish per tank = water per tank ÷ water per goldfish
= 5544 ÷ 1386
= 4
Therefore, each tank can hold a maximum of 4 goldfish.
Greatest number of goldfish = number of tanks × fish per tank
= 8 × 4
= 32
Answer:
It is 20
Step-by-step explanation:
1+1= 2*20=40
40/2=20
These are how the graphs will look, they are color coded so have a look at the equations first.
