True. It can be negative. Then it would not be continuous; think about what if the exponent was fractional.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement : The base of an exponential function cannot be a negative number.

We need to check whether the given statement is true or not.

The general form of an exponential function is

f(x)=ab^x

where, a is the initial value and b is the base of exponential function.

The value of base b is always greater than 0 because

1. The terms like (-3)^\frac{1}{2} is an imaginary number and it make no sense. So, the base of an exponential function cannot be a negative number.

2. It b=0, then (0)^x=0, which is a constant function. So, the base of an exponential function cannot be 0.

It means b>0.

Therefore, the given the given statement is true.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

30units,2900

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Country Motorbikes Incorporated finds that it costs $400 to produce each motorbike, and that fixed costs are $1600 per day.

The price function is p(x) = 700 − 5x, where p is the price (in dollars) at which exactly x motorbikes will be sold.

If x units are produced and sold we have

Costs for x units = variable costs *x +Fixed costs = 400x+1600

Sales revenue = no of units sold * price = x(700-5x) = 700x-5x^2

Profit funciton = P(x) = Sales revenue - Total cost

= 700x-5x^2-400x-1600\\=300x-5x^2-1600

To get maximum profit we use derivative test I derivative =0 and II derivative =negative

P'(x) = 300-10x\\p"(x) = -10

Producing 30 units will maximize the profit.

Max profit

=P(30) = 2900

What is the distance between -2 1/2, -5 3/4
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it's kinda confusing b/c of the minus signs.. huh...  but -5 is less than -2 sooo

start with

-2 1/2  - (-5 3/4 )

=5 3/4 - 2 1/2

=5 3/4 - 2 2/4

=23/4 - 10/4

=13/4

there you go...  :)

if you want it back in proper fractions

3 1/4
