Find the value of x at which the function has a possible relative maximum or minimum point.​ (Recall that e Superscript x is pos

itive for all​ x.) Use the second derivative to determine the nature of the function at these points.
f(x)=(3+x)e-4x

What is the value of x at which the function has a possible relative maximum or minimum point?

Answer:

x= -11/4 is a maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a function has its critical points where the derivative equal zero. Therefore we need to compute the derivative of this function and find the points where the derivative is zero. Using the chain rule and the product rule we get that

f'(x)=  -e^{-4x}(11+4x)

And then we get that   if   11+4x = 0   then   x = -11/4 . So it has a critical point at   x = -11/4.

Now, if the second derivative evaluated at that point is less than 0 then the point is a maximum and if is greater than zero the point is a minimum.

Since

f''(x) = 8e^{-4x} (5+2x)\\f''(-11/4) = -239496.56

x= -11/4 is a maximum.

What is the focus of the parabola? <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20-x%2B3" id="Te

We know that
the equation of the parabola is of the form
y=ax²+bx+c
in this problem
y=1/4x²−x+3
where
a=1/4
b=-1
c=3
 the coordinates of the focus are
(-b/2a,(1-D)/4a)
where D is the discriminant b²-4ac
D=(-1)²-4*(1/4)*3-----> D=1-3---> D=-2
therefore
x coordinate of the focus
-b/2a----> 1/[2*(-1/4)]----> 2

y coordinate of the focus
(1-D)/4a------> (1+2)/(4/4)---> 3

the coordinates of the focus are (2,3)

Mary got a piggy bank as a gift with X cents in it. If she saves Y cents each month for a year, how much money will she have in
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The total money she saved in a year = X + 12Y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary got a piggy bank as a gift.

Sum of money in the piggy bank while she got it as a gift = X cents

Sum of money she saved = Y cents per month

1 year = 12 months

So, sum of money she saved in 1 year = Y × 12

= 12Y

Hence, the total money she saved in a year = X + 12Y.
