If y= 3x + 6, what is the minimum value of (x^3)(y)?

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Given the statement: if y =3x+6.

Find the minimum value of $(x^3)(y)$

Let f(x) = $(x^3)(y)$

Substitute the value of y ;

$f(x)=(x^3)(3x+6)$

Distribute the terms;

$f(x)= 3x^4 + 6x^3$

The derivative value of f(x) with respect to x.

$\frac{df}{dx} =\frac{d}{dx}(3x^4+6x^3)$

Using $\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}$

we have;

$\frac{df}{dx} =(12x^3+18x^2)$

Set $\frac{df}{dx} = 0$

then;

$(12x^3+18x^2) =0$

$6x^2(2x + 3) = 0$

By zero product property;

$6x^2=0$ and 2x + 3 = 0

⇒ x=0 and x = $-\frac{3}{2} = -1.5$

then;

at x = 0

f(0) = 0

and

x = -1.5

$f(-1.5) = 3(-1.5)^4 + 6(-1.5)^3 = 15.1875-20.25 = -5.0625$

Hence the minimum value of $(x^3)(y)$ is, -5.0625

At a sale, books are sold at $90.75 each, which is 75 percent of the original price. What is the original price

lions [1.4K]

$\frac{75}{100} = \frac{90.75}{x} \\ x = \frac{90.75 \times 100}{75} = \frac{9075}{75} = 121$
the answer is 121

can someone pls help me? i have no idea what to do. pls show the work steps for the questions. i will mark u as

Ok, so the question is based on geometric progression. Remember, the formula for calculating the nth-term of a geometric progression is: $a*r^{n-1}$ . The a in the expression stands for the 1st term of the sequence, and r is the common ratio of the elements of the sequence. Now let's take a look at the problem.

"A ping pong ball has a 75% rebound ration". We can infer that our common ratio, r, is 75% which is 0.75.

"When you drop it from a height of k feet...", this means the first height you drop it from, a.k.a, the first term.

Now going back to the expression, the nth-term = $a*r^{n-1}$ , we can substitute our common ration, 0.75 with r, and our 1st term, k, with a. This becomes: $k * 0.75^{n-1}$ . This becomes our expression.

a. The highest height achieved by the ball after six bounces. Our nth-term here is 6, so let's use our expression to find the 6th term. $n_{6} = 235 * 0.75^{6-1} = 235*0.75^{5} = 235*0.2373 = 55.7655ft$

b. The total distance travelled by the ball when it strikes the ground for the 12th time. This involves the use of the sum of elements in the geometric progression. The formula for that is $\frac{a(1 - r^{n})}{1-r}$ , provided that r is less than 1, which it is in this case, since 0.75 is less than one. Our nth-term here is 12, so we substitute.
