Usually one will differentiate the function to find the minimum/maximum point, but in this case differentiating yields:

which contains multiple solution if one tries to solve for x when the differentiated form is 0.
I would, though, venture a guess that the minimum value would be (approaching) 5, since the function would be undefined in the vicinity.
If, however, the function is

Then differentiating and equating to 0 yields:

which gives:

or

We reject x=5 as it is when it ix the maximum and thus,

Answer :E) Not enough information is given to determine the probability.
Step-by-step explanation:
Le A denotes the event that households in the United States own dogs .
and B denotes the event that households in the United States own cats.
As per given , we have
P(A)=36.5%= 0.365
P(B)=30.4% = 0.304
To find the probability that the selected household will own a dog or a cat, we apply the following formula :
P(A or B)=P(A)+P(B)+P(A and B)
But P(A and B) is not given to us.
i..e the probability that a house hold own both a cat and adg is not given to us.
Therefore, The correct option is (E) Not enough information is given to determine the probability.
The line does not represent a direct variation because it does not go through the origin.
Turn 2 1/8 into an improper fraction. Multiply the denominator by the whole number and then add the numerator. 2 x 8 + 1= 17. Improper fraction is 17/8. So is 17/8 x 16/1. 16 x 17= 272. This is 272/8. Now simplify. Answer is 34

is the equivalent to "five to the third power"
