Answer:
d = 25

Explanation:
To get the value of d, we will need to isolate the d on one side of the equation.

This can be done as follows:
 $\frac{15}{d} = \frac{24}{40}$ 

First, we will do cross multiplication as follows:
40*15 = 24*d
600 = 24d

Then, we will isolate the d as follows:
24d = 600
 $\frac{24d}{24} = \frac{600}{24}$

d = 25

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

The unknown variable d is, 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that two ratios or fractions are equal.

Solve for d:

$\frac{15}{d} = \frac{24}{40}$

By cross multiply we have;

$600 = 24d$

Divide both sides by 24 we have;

$\frac{600}{24} = d$

Simplify:

25 = d

d = 25

therefore, the unknown variable d is, 25.

1) Let f(x)=6x+6/x. Find the open intervals on which f is increasing (decreasing). Then determine the x-coordinates of all relat

brilliants [131]

Answer:

1) increasing on (-∞,-1] ∪ [1,∞), decreasing on [-1,0) ∪ (0,1]

$x = -1$ is local maximum, $x = 1$ is local minimum

2) increasing on [1,∞), decreasing on (-∞,0) ∪ (0,1]

$x = 1$ is absolute minimum

3) increasing on (-∞,0] ∪ [8,∞), decreasing on [0,4) ∪ (4,8]

$x = 0$ is local maximum, $x = 8$ is local minimum

4) increasing on [2,∞), decreasing on (-∞,2]

$x = 2$ is absolute minimum

5) increasing on the interval (0,4/9], decreasing on the interval [4/9,∞)

$x = 0$ is local minimum, $x = 4/9$ is absolute maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

To find minima and maxima the of the function, we must take the derivative and equalize it to zero to find the roots.

1) $f(x) = 6x + 6/x$

$f\prime(x) = 6 - 6/x^2 = 0$ and $x \neq 0$

So, the roots are $x = -1$ and $x = 1$

The function is increasing on the interval (-∞,-1] ∪ [1,∞)

The function is decreasing on the interval [-1,0) ∪ (0,1]

$x = -1$ is local maximum, $x = 1$ is local minimum.

2) $f(x)=6-4/x+2/x^2$

$f\prime(x)=4/x^2-4/x^3=0$ and $x \neq 0$

So the root is $x = 1$

The function is increasing on the interval [1,∞)

The function is decreasing on the interval (-∞,0) ∪ (0,1]

$x = 1$ is absolute minimum.

3) $f(x) = 8x^2/(x-4)$

$f\prime(x) = (8x^2-64x)/(x-4)^2=0$ and $x \neq 4$

So the roots are $x = 0$ and $x = 8$

The function is increasing on the interval (-∞,0] ∪ [8,∞)

The function is decreasing on the interval [0,4) ∪ (4,8]

$x = 0$ is local maximum, $x = 8$ is local minimum.

4) $f(x)=6(x-2)^{2/3} +4=0$

$f\prime(x) = 4/(x-2)^{1/3}$ has no solution and $x = 2$ is crtitical point.

The function is increasing on the interval [2,∞)

The function is decreasing on the interval (-∞,2]

$x = 2$ is absolute minimum.

5) $f(x)=8\sqrt x - 6x$ for $x>0$

$f\prime(x) = (4/\sqrt x)-6 = 0$

So the root is $x = 4/9$

The function is increasing on the interval (0,4/9]

The function is decreasing on the interval [4/9,∞)

$x = 0$ is local minimum, $x = 4/9$ is absolute maximum.
