How do you use an exponent to represent a number such as 16

Tell whether the pair of polygons is similar. Explain why or why not.

suter [353]

Not similar. The ratio of sides is not the same

Can anybody help plzz?? 65 points

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{-8}{x^2} +2$

$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} =\frac{16}{x^3}$

Stationary Points: See below.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Equality Properties

Calculus

Derivative Notation dy/dx

Derivative of a Constant equals 0.

Stationary Points are where the derivative is equal to 0.

1st Derivative Test - Tells us if the function f(x) has relative max or mins. Critical Numbers occur when f'(x) = 0 or f'(x) = undef
2nd Derivative Test - Tells us the function f(x)'s concavity behavior. Possible Points of Inflection/Points of Inflection occur when f"(x) = 0 or f"(x) = undef

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Quotient Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$f(x)=\frac{8}{x} +2x$

Step 2: Find 1st Derivative (dy/dx)

Quotient Rule [Basic Power]: $f'(x)=\frac{0(x)-1(8)}{x^2} +2x$
Simplify: $f'(x)=\frac{-8}{x^2} +2x$
Basic Power Rule: $f'(x)=\frac{-8}{x^2} +1 \cdot 2x^{1-1}$
Simplify: $f'(x)=\frac{-8}{x^2} +2$

Step 3: 1st Derivative Test

Set 1st Derivative equal to 0: $0=\frac{-8}{x^2} +2$
Subtract 2 on both sides: $-2=\frac{-8}{x^2}$
Multiply x² on both sides: $-2x^2=-8$
Divide -2 on both sides: $x^2=4$
Square root both sides: $x= \pm 2$

Our Critical Points (stationary points for rel max/min) are -2 and 2.

Step 4: Find 2nd Derivative (d²y/dx²)

Define: $f'(x)=\frac{-8}{x^2} +2$
Quotient Rule [Basic Power]: $f''(x)=\frac{0(x^2)-2x(-8)}{(x^2)^2} +2$
Simplify: $f''(x)=\frac{16}{x^3} +2$
Basic Power Rule: $f''(x)=\frac{16}{x^3}$

Step 5: 2nd Derivative Test

Set 2nd Derivative equal to 0: $0=\frac{16}{x^3}$
Solve for x: $x = 0$

Our Possible Point of Inflection (stationary points for concavity) is 0.

Step 6: Find coordinates

Plug in the C.N and P.P.I into f(x) to find coordinate points.

x = -2

Substitute: $f(-2)=\frac{8}{-2} +2(-2)$
Divide/Multiply: $f(-2)=-4-4$
Subtract: $f(-2)=-8$

x = 2

Substitute: $f(2)=\frac{8}{2} +2(2)$
Divide/Multiply: $f(2)=4 +4$
Add: $f(2)=8$

x = 0

Substitute: $f(0)=\frac{8}{0} +2(0)$
Evaluate: $f(0)=\text{unde} \text{fined}$

Step 7: Identify Behavior

See Attachment.

Point (-2, -8) is a relative max because f'(x) changes signs from + to -.

Point (2, 8) is a relative min because f'(x) changes signs from - to +.

When x = 0, there is a concavity change because f"(x) changes signs from - to +.

Answer:

Driving time Denver to Aspen

Yes, it's about 3-1/2 hours from Denver to Aspen via Glenwood Springs. It's approx. 200 miles, all but the last 40 on I-70 interstate. The driving time will depend upon the weather and what day of the week you're traveling (I-70 can be jammed with skiers on Friday nights and Sat.

The spinner for a board game has eight colors the arrow can land on. What are the degrees of freedom for a goodness-of-fit test

Juliette [100K]

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of colors that the arrow can land on = 8

We need to find the degrees of freedom for a goodness of fit test of the fairness of this spinner.

As we know that degree of freedom is 1 less than the size of sample.

So, Mathematically, it is expressed as below:

So, Degree of freedom would be

$v=n-1\\\\v=8-1\\\\v=7$

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
