So we write out the numbers on an equation first.
Assuming X is the unknown number, the formula as follows:
\frac{4}{5}  \times (x) =  - 48
We make both sides to have an x.
\frac{4}{5} x = (  \frac{ - 48}{1}  \times  \frac{x}{1} ) \\   \\  \frac{4}{5}x  =  - 48x
bring over the 5 to -48x
4x = ( - 48x \times 5) \\ 4x=  - 240 \\ x =  \frac{ - 240}{4}  \\  x=  - 60
to cross verify: 4/5 × (-60) = -48


Answer : Four-fifths of (-60) is -48

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.
