Between 1989 and 1998, the population of smalltown, USA ( in thousands) can be modeled by f(x)=.24x^2 -0.96x + 4, where x=0 repr

esents 1989. Based on this model, in what year did the population of small town reach its minimum?

Just use derivatives:

f'(x)= .48x-.96 = 0, x = 2, since the coeff of x^2 is +, this is a minimum

x=0 1989, so x = 2 is 1991! :)

Answer:

Angle bisector

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the measure of the angle COA. By angle addition postulate,

$m\angle COX=m\angle AOX+m\angle COA$

From the diagram,

$m\angle COX=80^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle AOX=40^{\circ},$

then

$80^{\circ}=m\angle COA+40^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle COA=80^{\circ}-40^{\circ}=40^{\circ}$

Find the measure of the angle BOA. By angle addition postulate,

$m\angle BOX=m\angle AOX+m\angle BOA$

From the diagram,

$m\angle BOX=60^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle AOX=40^{\circ},$

then

$60^{\circ}=m\angle BOA+40^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle BOA=60^{\circ}-40^{\circ}=20^{\circ}$

Find the measure of the angle COB. By angle addition postulate,

$m\angle COX=m\angle BOX+m\angle COB$

From the diagram,

$m\angle BOX=60^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle COX=80^{\circ},$

then

$80^{\circ}=m\angle COB+60^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle COB=80^{\circ}-60^{\circ}=20^{\circ}$

This means, the measures of angles COB and BOA are the same and are equal half the measure of angle COA, so angles COB and BOA are congruent. This means, the ray OB is the angle bisector of angle COA

Let θ (in radians) be an acute angle in a right triangle, and let x and y, respectively, be the lengths of the sides adjacent an

Fed [463]

Explanation is given step by step just below:
tan(theta(t))=y(t)/x(t)

differentiate
sec^2(theta(t))*theta'(t)=y'(t)x(t)-y(t)x'(t)/x^2(t)
thus
theta'(t)=(y'(t)x(t)-y(t)x'(t))
divided by (x^2(t)*sec^2(θ(t))
