(step 1) (6a+5)(a-1)=0

(step 2) 6a+5=0 or a-1=0

answer is
a= -5/6 or a= 1
i hope this helps! ;)

Determine the open intervals on which the graph of f(x) = x - 4cos x is concave upward or concave downward

bazaltina [42]

The graph of the function $f(x)$ is

concave upward, when $f''(x)>0;$
concave downward, when $f''(x)$

Find $f''(x):$

$f'(x)=(x-4\cos x)'=1+4\sin x;$

$f''(x)=4\cos x.$

Now:

1. when $4\cos x>0,$ the graph of the function is concave upward and this is for

$x\in \left(-\dfrac{\pi}{2}+2\pi k,\dfrac{\pi}{2}+2\pi k\right), \text{ where } k\in Z.$

2. when $4\cos x$ the graph of the function is concave downward and this is for

$x\in \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}+2\pi k,\dfrac{3\pi}{2}+2\pi k\right), \text{ where } k\in Z.$

Assume that trees are subjected to different levels of carbon dioxide atmosphere with 7% of the trees in a minimal growth condit

taurus [48]

Answer: The mean and standard deviation are 567.2 and 89.88 resp.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

For 370 parts per million = 7% = 0.07

For 440 parts per million = 10% = 0.10

For 550 parts per million = 49% = 0.49

For 670 parts per million = 34% = 0.34

So, Mean of the carbon dioxide atmosphere for these trees would be

$E[x]=370\times 0.07+440\times 0.1+550\times 0.49+670\times 0.34=567.2$

And

$E[x^2]=370^2\times 0.07+440^2\times 0.1+550^2\times 0.49+670^2\times 0.34=329794$

So, Variance would be

$Var\ x=E[x^2]-E[x]^2=329794-567.2^2=8078.16$

So, the standard deviation would be

$\sigma=\sqrt{8078.16}=89.88$

Hence, the mean and standard deviation are 567.2 and 89.88 resp.
