1) First derivative

dy / dx = 15x^4 - 75x^2 + 60

relative maxima => dy / dx = 0

=> 15x^4 - 75x^2 + 60 = 0

=> x^4 - 5x^2 + 4 = 0

Solve by factoring: (x^2 - 4) (x^2 - 1) = 0

=> x^2 = 4 => x = 2 and x = -2

x^2 = 1 => x = 1 and x = -1

So, there are four candidates -4, -1, 1 and 4.

To conclude whether they are relative maxima you must take the second derivative. Only those whose second derivative is negative are relative maxima.

2) Second derivative:

d^2 y / dx^2 = 60x^3 - 150x

Factor: 30x(2x^2 - 5)

The second derivative test tells that the second derivative in a relative maxima is less than zero.

=> 30x (2x^2 - 5) < 0

=> x < 0 and x^2 > 5/2

 => x < 0 and x < √(5/2) or x > √(5/2)

 => x = - 2 is a local maxima


Also, x > 0 and x^2 < 5/2 is a solution

=> x = 1 is other local maxima.

Those are the only two local maxima.

The answer is the option c) 2 local maxima.

romanna [79]

Answer:

It's 10,920 ( E)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hr = 60 mins

7 hrs = 60 × 7

7 hrs = 420 mins

if they package 26 cases per minute,

they would package 420 × 26 in 7 hours

i.e they'd package 10920 cases in 7 hours

1. Solve for x: 3x-3/5+2=5
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

x = 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 3/5 + 2 = 5

<u>Add 3/5 and -2 on both sides.</u>

3x = 5 + 3/5 - 2

3x = 18/5

<u>Divide 3 on both sides.</u>

x = 18/5 ÷ 3

x = 18/15

x = 6/5
