Find the derivative of f(x) = -9/x at x = 6

Mathematics

Svet_ta [14]3 years ago

F(x)=-9/x which is equal to:

f(x)=-9x^(-1)  So the power rule for differentiation is used...

Power rule:  f(x)=x^e, df/dx=ex^(e-1) so:

df/dx=-9(-1)x^(-1-1)

df/dx=9x^(-2)  or if you prefer...

df/dx=9/x^2

df/dx(6)=9/36=1/4

Find the larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x2 + 63.5x - 17
Luden [163]

The larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17would be 28.59.

<h3>How to find the roots of a quadratic equation?</h3>

Suppose that the given quadratic equation is

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Then its roots are given as:

x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

The given quadratic equation is

y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17

now, the roots of the equation are

x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{63.5^2 - 4(-2.2)(-17)}}{2(-2.2)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{4032.25 - 149.6}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{3882.65}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm 62.31}{(-4.4)}

The two roots are 0.27 and 28.59.

Thus, the larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17would be 28.59.

2. P337. 23. A large box contains 10,000 ball bearings. A random sample of 120 is chosen. The sample mean diameter is 10 mm, and
Rashid [163]

Answer:

B is True

A, C. D are false

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, n = 120

Mean diameter, m = 10

Standard deviation, s = 0.24

Confidence level, Zcritical ; Z0.05/2 = Z0.025 = 1.96

The confidence interval represents how the true mean value compares to a set of values around the mean computed from a set of sample drawn from the population.

The population here is N = 10000

To obtain

Confidence interval (C. I) :

Mean ± margin of error

Margin of Error = Zcritical * s/sqrt(n)

Margin of Error = 1.96 * 0.24/sqrt(120)

Confidence interval for the 10,000 ball bearing :

10 ± 1.96 * (0.24) / sqrt(120)

Hence. The confidence interval defined as :

10 ± 1.96 * (0.24) / sqrt(120) is the 95% confidence interval for the mean diameter of the 10,000 bearings in the box.

EastWind [94]
To answer this problem, the utilization of the provided formula is of utmost importance.

The formula to be used would be for the combination with no repetition since it is what is asked and possibly happens when involving the products mentioned in the problem. The formula would be

      n!                                              where in
-------------                                                   n = number of things to choose from
(n - r)! r!                                                      r = number of things needed to form

the symbol ! is called a factorial function which replaces the sequence of multiplying a number in a descending order.

lets substitute and solve

      13!
--------------
(13 - 6)! 6!

      13!
-------------
   (7!) 6!

6,227,020,800
-------------------
  5,040 x 720

6,227,020,800
-------------------
    3,628,800

1,716

The answer would be 1,716.

April shoots an arrow upward at a speed of 80 ft/sec from a platform of 25 ft. High. The pathway of the arrow can be represented
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

125feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation that modeled the height expressed as h = -16t^2 + 80t + 25, where h is the height and t is the time in seconds.

The arrow reaches the maximum height at dh/dt = 0

dh/dt = -32t + 80

0= -32t+80

32t = 80

t = 80/32

t = 2.5secs

substitute t = 2.5 into the formula;

h = -16t^2 + 80t + 25

h = -16(2.5)^2 + 80(2.5) + 25

h = -16(6.25)+225

h = -100+225

h = 125

Hence the maximum height the arrow reaches is 125feet
